“…by Petit et al (2018) in this dimension allows a more precise evaluation of the healthcare providers' understanding of the BPS domain. Thus, the reliability coefficients in this study were higher than in previous PABS reliability studies (Dalkilinc et al, 2014;Eland et al, 2016;Houben et al, 2005;Leakman et al, 2008;Magalhaes et al, 2012;Mutsaers et al, 2014;Ostelo et al, 2003) with, however, fewer items in each dimension (Table 5). The French version was found to have good reproducibility.…”

BackgroundThe Pain Attitudes and Beliefs Scale for Physiotherapists (PABS‐PT) questionnaire evaluates manual therapists' biomedical and biopsychosocial beliefs regarding the management of chronic low back pain. Its usage in clinical settings is an important step in the implementation of national guidelines and policies to improve patient management.ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to translate the PABS‐PT questionnaire into French, to adapt it culturally, and to conduct a psychometric analysis.DesignQualitative and cross‐sectional study.MethodThe translation process followed published guidelines with cross‐cultural validation by an expert committee. We followed a forward and backward translation procedure and an expert committee, including the original author of the questionnaire and a linguistics expert ensuring good cultural adaptation, issued a finalised version. Psychometric analysis of the French version of the questionnaire was conducted among 390 French manual therapists in two phases. The first phase evaluated structural validity as well as external validity compared with the TSK and BBQ questionnaires. Then, reliability and scalability were analysed. The second phase evaluated test‐retest reproducibility by sending the same questionnaire 3 months later.ResultsThe validity study revealed three subscales: the classic biomedical subscale and two subscales for biopsychosocial beliefs (aetiology of pain and physical activity). With 21 items in total for the PABS‐PT‐FR, the structural validity scores were good (BM: alpha = 0.82, H = 0.38; Physical Activity: alpha = 0.62, H = 0.32; Aetiology of Pain: alpha = 0.55, H = 0.29).ConclusionsThis study provides a validated tool to assess French physiotherapists' and, more generally, healthcare providers' beliefs about chronic low back pain, with a new insight into the BPS subscale internal construct.

“…However, validity of the items was not checked other than by looking at their face validity (Houben et al, 2005a). Later cross-cultural adaptation studies of the PABS have mostly relied on a pretest survey to assess format, comprehensibility and acceptability (Dalkilinc, Cirak, Yilmaz, and Parlak Demir, 2015;Eland, Kvale, Ostelo, and Strand, 2017;Laekeman, Sitter, and Basler, 2008;Magalhaes, Costa, Ferreira, and Machado, 2011). No problems relating to completion of the questionnaire were reported, and comments received in pretests mainly concerned the layout.…”

Background: The Pain Attitudes and Beliefs Scale (PABS) for physiotherapists aims to differentiate between clinicians' biomedical and biopsychosocial treatment orientations regarding nonspecific low back pain (LBP). Objective: To study the content validity of the Norwegian PABS by following international guidelines: exploring its relevance, comprehensibility and comprehensiveness. Methods: Cognitive interviews were performed using the Three-Step Test Interview, consisting of think-aloud techniques, retrospective probing and in-depth interviews. Eleven Norwegian physiotherapists with a diversity of professional backgrounds participated. Results: The participants encountered little difficulty in completing the PABS. All items were deemed relevant and important but five items had ambiguous formulations which can easily be handled. The biomedical subscale appeared to be a comprehensive representation of biomedical treatment orientation. The biopsychosocial subscale was found to lack items concerning cognitive behavioral aspects of LBP management, such as patient education, therapeutic alliance, shared decision making and graded exposure. Conclusions: This study provides empirical evidence that the Norwegian version of the PABS-PT is relevant and comprehensible, provided some minor adjustments. The biopsychosocial subscale, however, lacks comprehensiveness, as it is not able to capture important aspects of contemporary biopsychosocial best practice care. Measurement of biopsychosocial treatment orientation may therefore be incomplete.

“…Depending on which score is higher, the likely treatment approach of the healthcare professional is interpreted as biomedically or biopsychosocially oriented. The Turkish version of PABS-PT was performed by Dalkilinc et al (21) and they found that it is valid and reliable.…”

Objective: To examine the chronic low back pain (CLBP)-related attitudes and beliefs of primary and secondary healthcare professionals responsible for the treatment of this condition. Material and Method:The study was conducted with 40 family physicians, 30 physiatrists, and 40 physiotherapists. The beliefs and attitudes of the participants concerning CLBP were evaluated using the Back Belief Questionnaire (BBQ), Health Care Providers' Pain and Impairment Relationship Scale (HC-PAIRS), and Pain Attitudes and Beliefs Scale for Physiotherapists (PABS-PT).Results: Among all the participants, the rate of those with predominantly biomedical beliefs was 80.9%, while the rate of those with predominantly biopsychosocial beliefs was 15.5%. In addition, it was observed that the BBQ, HC-PAIRS and PABS-PT scores were not affected by educational status, number of patients with CLBP treated or examined in a week, and years of experience (p>0.05). The BBQ and HC-PAIRS scores of the family physicians were statistically significantly lower compared to the physiotherapists and those of the physiotherapists were statistically significantly lower compared to the physiatrists (p<0.05). However, the PABS-PT scores were similar among different healthcare professionals (p>0.05). Conclusion:This study revealed that family physicians, physiotherapists, and physiatrists in Turkey might have negative attitudes and beliefs concerning CLBP and the biopsychosocial approach should be further adopted among healthcare professionals.
