“…Unfortunately several studies report that patients feel that these professionals often do not allow enough time for discussion, lack understanding of their situation, and come across as skeptical and disbelieving (Campbell & Guy 2007;Harding, Parsons, Rahman, & Underwood 2005;May, Rose, & Johnstone 2000;Snelgrove & Liossi 2009;Toye & Barker 2010;Walker, Holloway, & Sofaer 1999). It must be noted that there is a bias towards state healthcare settings in these studies.…”

This Masterclass discusses findings from a growing body of qualitative research studies that have investigated the subjective experience of having persistent non-malignant low back pain. These studies have found that people with experience changes in self image, personal relationships and life roles. They have also reported on how subjectivity affects the therapeutic relationship, what patients have found helpful in dealing with healthcare professionals, and what it is like to go through a healthcare system for a pain that may not be curable or even diagnosable. The findings are of great importance for clinicians who wish to provide person centred care for patients with persistent low back pain, so this Masterclass ends with key lessons for practitioners

“…Spousal and parental relationships were highly stressed by back pain, with reports of diminished trust and mutual understanding (Ashby et al, 2010;Campbell & Guy, 2007;De Souza & Frank, 2011;Holloway, Sofaer-Bennett, & Walker, 2007;Strunin & Boden, 2004;Tavafian, Gregory, & Montazeri, 2008;Young et al, 2011).

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is associated with a number of costly disability-related outcomes. It has received increasing attention from qualitative researchers studying its consequences for personal, social, and health care experiences. As research questions and methods diversify, there is a growing need to integrate findings emerging from these studies. A meta-ethnography was carried out to synthesise the findings of 38 separate qualitative articles published on the subjective experience of CLBP between 1994 and 2011. Studies were identified following a literature search and quality appraisal. Four themes were proposed after a process of translating the meaning of text extracts from the findings sections across all the articles. The themes referred to the undermining influence of pain, its disempowering impact on all levels, unsatisfying relationships with health care professionals, and learning to live with the pain. The findings are dominated by wide-ranging distress and loss but also acknowledge self-determination and resilience. Implications of the meta-ethnography for clinicians and future qualitative research are outlined, including the need to study relatively unexamined facets of subjective experience such as illness trajectory and social identity.

“…Several studies show strong correlation between low back pain and professional drivers (Videman et al, 2000;Gimeno et al, 2004;Tse et al, 2006;Campbell & Guy, 2007;Alperovitch Najenson et al, 2010;Dedessus-Le-Moustier & Lerouge, 2011;Louit-Martinod et al, 2016). Others scholars (Breuer and Brettel, 2012;Knox et al, 2013;Hopayian & Notley, 2014;Janwantanakul & Akkarakittichoke, 2017) find high probability for developing the low back pain in certain professions, like lorry drivers, manual workers, and nurses.…”

Background and purpose: Professional drivers as a group are exposed to high risk of developing low back pain due to ergonomic factors and work conditions. The purpose of the study was to examine to what extent the low back pain occurs among Slovene professional drivers as a result of the development of various psychosocial factors. Methodology: The study involved 275 respondents (professional bus drivers, car/van drivers, international truck/ lorry drivers, and ambulance car drivers). Hypotheses were tested using multivariate statistical method (regression analysis) and analysis of variance. Data were collected by structured questionnaire comprised of three parts: socio-demographic data, basic psychosocial factors causing low back pain, and incidence, duration and severity of low back pain as a result of psychosocial risk factors, was implemented. Results:The results of quantitative survey suggest that low back pain is mostly caused by lifting and carrying heavy loads, inadequate working conditions, poor physical fitness, regular nights out, shift work, and stress. Only the impact of gender on low back pain distress among professional drivers was confirmed, predominantly among bus drivers and lorry drivers on international routes. Low back pain occurrence was less common, albeit not statistically significant, among professional drivers of vans and passenger cars. Conclusion: Our study suggests that psychosocial factors are also important cause for the development of low back pain among professional drivers and can limit the quality of their social and professional lives.
