“…Patient information materials, such as leaflets, booklets, books, videos, computer and Internet-based information, have notably increased over the recent years. Most are based on theoretical considerations rather than evidence [13]. Information materials must contain scientifically reliable information and be presented in a form that is acceptable and useful to patients.…”

“…However, knowledge alone is rarely sufficient for behaviour change [17]. Recent data show that there is conflicting evidence that information positively modifies beliefs on back pain or is efficient in preventing LBP occurrences, recurrences and consequences such as health-care use [13]. Earlier investigations suggested that the Back book, an evidence-based patient educational booklet, improves back beliefs significantly, both fear-avoidance beliefs about physical activity and beliefs about the consequences of back trouble [5].…”

“…Earlier investigations suggested that the Back book, an evidence-based patient educational booklet, improves back beliefs significantly, both fear-avoidance beliefs about physical activity and beliefs about the consequences of back trouble [5]. A recent systematic review concludes that there is strong evidence that the booklet increases knowledge, compared with no intervention or usual care alone, associated with a healthcare provider-related cue or videodisc [13]. Cultural aspects and the clinical setting where the booklet is provided play a role.…”

“…Cultural aspects and the clinical setting where the booklet is provided play a role. Physician-related cues may increase in the short-term the confidence in booklet use or and adherence to exercises as compared with providing the booklet without those cues [13]. In French and British adults of working age seeking medical care for low back pain, adding the back book or postural hygiene pamphlet improves disability, reduces reattendances and improves positive beliefs when compared with not giving it.…”

“…The biomedical approach does not sit easily with the more inclusive patient involvement and is a model that shows its age in today's information-hungry society [9]. Providing information to patients is considered a crucial issue [13], yet many patients report considerable difficulties in obtaining relevant information [7]. There are numerous reasons for this.…”

The role of the patient as an active partner in health care, and not just a passive object of diagnostic testing and medical treatment, is widely accepted. Providing information to patients is considered a crucial issue and the central focus in patient educational activities. It is necessary to educate patients on the nature of the outcomes and the benefits and risks of the procedures to involve them in the decision-making process and enable them to achieve fully informed consent. Information materials must contain scientifically reliable information and be presented in a form that is acceptable and useful to patients. Given the mismatch between public beliefs and current evidence, strategies for changing the public perceptions are required. Traditional patient education programmes have to face the potential barriers of storage, access problems and the need to keep content materials up to date. A computer-based resource provides many advantages, including ''just-intime'' availability and a private learning environment. The use of the Internet for patient information needs will continue to expand as Internet access becomes readily available. However, the problem is no longer in finding information, but in assessing the credibility and validity of it. Health Web sites should provide health information that is secure and trustworthy. The large majority of the Web sites providing information related to spinal disorders are of limited and poor quality. Patient Line (PL), a patient information section in the Web site of Eurospine, was born in 2005 to offer patients and the general population the accumulated expertise represented by the members of the society and provide up-to-date information related to spinal disorders. In areas where evidence is scarce, Patient Line provides a real-time opinion of the EuroSpine membership. The published data reflect the pragmatic and the common sense range of treatments offered by the Eurospine membership. The first chapters have been dedicated to sciatica, scoliosis, cervical pain syndromes, low back pain and motion preservation surgery. Since 2008, the information has been available in English, German, French and Spanish. The goal is for Patient Line to become THE European patient information Web site on spinal disorders, providing reliable and updated best practice and evidence-based information where the evidence exists.

Effect of Primary Care–Based Education on Reassurance in Patients With Acute Low Back Pain

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

IMPORTANCE Reassurance is a core aspect of daily medical practice, yet little is known on how it can be achieved. OBJECTIVE To determine whether patient education in primary care increases reassurance in patients with acute or subacute low back pain (LBP). DATA SOURCES Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register for Controlled Trials, and PsychINFO databases were searched to June 2014. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized and nonrandomized clinical trials. STUDY SELECTION To be eligible, studies needed to be controlled trials of patient education for LBP that were delivered in primary care and measured reassurance after the intervention. Eligibility criteria were applied, and studies were selected by 2 independent authors. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcomes were reassurance in the short and long term and health care utilization at 12 months. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Data were extracted by 2 independent authors and entered into a standardized form. A random-effects meta-analysis tested the effects of patient education compared with usual care on measures of reassurance. To investigate the effect of study characteristics, we performed a preplanned subgroup analysis. Studies were stratified according to duration, content, and provider of patient education. RESULTS We included 14 trials (n = 4872) of patient education interventions. Trials assessed reassurance with questionnaires of fear, worry, anxiety, catastrophization, and health care utilization. There is moderate-to high-quality evidence that patient education increases reassurance more than usual care/control education in the short term (standardized mean difference [SMD], −0.21; 95% CI, −0.35 to −0.06) and long term (SMD, −0.15; 95% CI, −0.27 to −0.03). Interventions delivered by physicians were significantly more reassuring than those delivered by other primary care practitioners (eg, physiotherapist or nurse). There is moderate-quality evidence that patient education reduces LBP-related primary care visits more than usual care/control education (SMD, −0.14; 95% CI, −0.28 to −0.00 at a 12-month follow-up). The number needed to treat to prevent 1 LBP-related visit to primary care was 17. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE There is moderate-to high-quality evidence that patient education in primary care can provide long-term reassurance for patients with acute or subacute LBP.

Information and Low Back Pain Management

Abstract: Information based on a biopsychosocial model is recommended in primary care to shift patient beliefs on low back pain. Nevertheless, information delivery alone is not sufficient to prevent absenteeism and reduce healthcare costs.
