Purpose: To explore and describe patients' experiences and perceptions of rehabilitation according to the rehabilitation model 'Prevention of sickness absence through early identification and rehabilitation of at-risk patients with musculoskeletal pain' (PREVSAM).
Method: A qualitative study was conducted, with individual semi-structured interviews analysed using qualitative content analysis. Fifteen patients from three primary care rehabilitation clinics in Sweden who had undergone rehabilitation based on the PREVSAM model participated.
Background: Musculoskeletal disorders are commonly treated in primary healthcare and may, if not treated adequately, entail a risk for long-term disability and sickness absence. A team-based rehabilitation intervention (PREVention of Sickness Absence for Musculoskeletal disorders, PREVSAM) was evaluated in a randomised controlled trial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the process of implementing the PREVSAM model in primary care rehabilitation.

This study aimed to explore participating healthcare professionals' experiences of working according to the PREVSAM model, and their perceptions of its clinical benefit and feasibility in primary care rehabilitation.
Methods: A focus group study including 12 healthcare professionals from five primary care rehabilitation clinics was analysed according to the focus group methodology described by Krueger and Casey.
Purpose: To evaluate short-term effects of the PREVention of Sickness Absence for Musculoskeletal disorders (PREVSAM) model on sickness absence and patient-reported health outcomes.
Methods: Patients with musculoskeletal disorders were randomised to rehabilitation according to PREVSAM or treatment as usual (TAU) in primary care. Sickness absence and patient-reported health outcomes were evaluated after three months in 254 participants.
Objectives: Measuring pain self-efficacy is suggested as relevant in patients with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in a primary care setting. However, there is no pain self-efficacy questionnaire (PSEQ) available in Swedish. The aim of this study was to translate and culturally adapt PSEQ-2 to Swedish and evaluate reliability and validity in a population of patients with MSDs.
