“…The syllabus illustrates the complex, multidimensional and individual specific nature of CP and its impact on society, which may explain this shift. Examination of the positive score change in items such as item 10 'Chronic pain causes several physical symptoms (muscle tension, change in appetite, reduced mobility, fatigue)' and item 13 'Chronic pain may be associated with negative emotions (Martorella et al, 2019), and so further evaluation of the CPMS is needed.…”

“…The second questionnaire we chose was the 26-item CPMS, developed originally for French speaking Canadian populations (Lacasse et al, 2016) and adapted into English (Martorella, Lacasse, et al, 2019). The CPMS is validated to measure community knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes towards individuals suffering from CP, biopsychosocial impacts of CP, and treatment of CP.…”

“…Several items are negatively formulated, and scores reversed. Factor subscale scores for the CPMS were calculated as per the author instructions (Martorella, Lacasse, et al, 2019). A higher overall score for each dimension corresponds to a better pain knowledge and more positive attitudes and beliefs about CP, its impacts, and its treatment.…”

Objectives: Chronic pain (CP) impacts individuals and society and is the leading cause of disability globally. Pain education interventions are often evaluated in patients and health professional students, but not in non-health student groups.Increasing knowledge of pain may facilitate shifts in attitudes and beliefs towards sufferers. We report on changes in pain knowledge, attitudes and beliefs of predominantly non-health-related tertiary degree students participating in online education. Methods: Quantitative cohort study design. Students reported demographics and completed the Chronic Pain Myth Scale and 12-item Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire (NPQ) before (T1) and after (T2) the 7-week online module at The University of Sydney in 2020.Results: Twenty-two students undertaking predominantly non-health-related bachelor's degrees (16.5% response rate, 90.9% female, mean = 19.5 years) participated. NPQ scores increased from 47.3% to 62.9%. Attitudes and beliefs towards biopsychosocial impact improved (p < 0.027) but not towards individuals suffering from CP or treatment of CP. A negative correlation was found between age and people suffering from CP (ρ = −0.437, p < 0.042) and age and towards treatment of CP; ρ = −0.556, p < 0.007) at T2. Conclusion:Completing the elective online module resulted in improved knowledge and biopsychosocial attitudes towards CP in this predominantly non-health cohort, as reported in health and patient cohorts.
