“…This programme combined exercise with a psychosocial approach and encouraged patients to continue with exercises or fitness activities following attendance (Klaber Moffett et al, 1999). CLBP patients reduce their physical activity due to pain and seek the support of health professionals, and this occurred even after attending BRPs (Bowman, 1991(Bowman, , 1994Borkan et al, 1995;Cook and Hassenkamp, 2000).…”

Objectives To explore patientsÕ perceptions regarding prospective telerehabilitation services and the factors that facilitate or impede patientsÕ intentions to use these services.Design Using semi-structured interviews, patients reflected on the pros and cons of various scenarios of prospective telerehabilitation services. PatientsÕ arguments were first arranged according to the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Next, using inductive analysis, the data for each UTAUT component were analysed and arranged into subthemes.Setting and participants Twenty-five chronic pain patients were selected from a rehabilitation centre in the Netherlands.Results Overall, participants considered telerehabilitation helpful as a complementary or follow-up treatment, rather than an autonomous treatment. Arguments mainly related to the UTAUT constructs of Ôperformance expectancyÕ and Ôfacilitating conditionsÕ. Patients valued the benefits such as reduced transportation barriers, flexible exercise hours and the possibility to better integrate skills into daily life. However, many patients feared a loss of treatment motivation and expressed concerns about both reduced fellow sufferer contact and reduced face-to-face therapist contact. Few arguments related to Ôsocial normsÕ and Ôeffort expectancyÕ.Conclusions The effect of telerehabilitation on healthcare strongly depends on patientsÕ willingness to use. Our study showed that chronic pain patients valued the benefits of telerehabilitation but hesitate to use it as an autonomous treatment. Therefore, future initiatives should maintain traditional care to some degree and focus on patientsÕ attitudes as well. Either by giving information to increase patientsÕ confidence in telerehabilitation or by addressing reported drawbacks into the future design of these services. Further quantitative studies are needed to explore patientsÕ intentions to use telerehabilitation.

“…CLBP has been identified as a leading health problem in the world (WHO, 2003;, and is considered a major cause of disability (Cook and Hassenkamp, 2000;Aceves-Avila et al, 2004;Taimela et al, 2004). Treatment of CLBP has been a challenge, and a solution to the problem has not yet been determined (Ehrlich, 2003).…”

Chronic low back pain and the construction of illness identities in women from Kuwait

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) has been identified as a prominent health problem and a major cause of disability. Recent research has focussed on providing a better understanding of subjective experiences of people with CLBP; however, emphasis continues to be geared towards the physical restrictions associated with CLBP. There is a scarcity of literature that considers the relation between self and identity, and people"s experiences with CLBP. Moreover, studies have concentrated on the experiences of people in Western contexts; to date, no studies have been carried out in Middle Eastern sociocultural contexts including Kuwait. Finally, there is a deficiency of studies that focus on the particularity of the experiences of women with CLBP and the impact on identity. This is the first study that investigates how women with CLBP construct illness identities in Kuwait.This study adopted a constructivist grounded theory methodology using dimensional analysis. In line with the grounded theory (GT) approach, data collection and analysis took place concurrently. A longitudinal study design was adopted. Semi-structured interviews were used to investigate women"s perspectives on their experiences with CLBP in relation to their socio-political and cultural context. Eleven women were recruited from three musculoskeletal outpatient clinics in Kuwait. Initially, five women were purposively sampled. A follow up interview was conducted with four of those women one year after the initial interview to investigate any changes in their experiences. Subsequently, six women were theoretically sampled with the aim of comparing the influence of age, educational level, marital status, socioeconomic status and time on women"s illness experiences.The findings of this study offer the first explanatory theory of the construction of illness identities of women with CLBP in Kuwait. Women"s identities can be seen as part of a continuum from oppressed at one end to liberated at the other. Salience of oppressed identities was associated with periods of exacerbation of CLBP and passive coping behaviours. Appearance of liberated identities was accompanied with episodes of remission of CLBP and active coping approaches. Changes in women"s social circumstances, thoughts and feelings over time were related to changes in the identities they portrayed, and changes in their manifestation of CLBP and illness experiences. The substantive theory developed through this study has implications for clinical practice, education and research, and may inform physiotherapy professional development activities in Kuwait.
