'Leaving my comfort zone'. A qualitative study of physiotherapists' experiences blending an eHealth psychosocial intervention with face-to-face physiotherapy.

Background: Many physiotherapists do not feel adequately equipped to address psychosocial risk factors in people with complex pain states. Hence, a biopsychosocial blended intervention (Back2Action) was developed to assist physiotherapists to manage people with persistent spinal pain and coexisting psychosocial risk factors associated with the development or maintenance of persistent pain.

Objective: This study aimed to gain insight into the experiences of physiotherapists with this blended psychosocial intervention.

How people with persistent pain experience in-person physiotherapy blended with biopsychosocial digital health - A qualitative study on participants' experiences with Back2Action.

Background: A blended intervention consisting of in-person physiotherapy and psychologically-informed digital health, called Back2Action, was developed to optimise the management of people with persistent spinal pain who also have psychosocial risk factors associated with the development or maintenance of persistent pain. This study aimed to gain insights in how participants experienced this blended intervention.

Methods: A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews was conducted.

Classically conditioned modulation of pain depends on stimulus intensity.

Innocuous cues that become associated with pain can enhance pain. This is termed classically conditioned hyperalgesia. The size of this effect varies under different conditions.

Back2Action: effectiveness of physiotherapy blended with eHealth consisting of pain education and behavioural activation versus physiotherapy alone-protocol for a pragmatic randomised clinical trial for people with subacute or persistent spinal pain.

Introduction: Psychosocial factors predict recovery in patients with spinal pain. Several of these factors are modifiable, such as depression and anxiety. However, primary care physiotherapists who typically manage these patients indicate that they do not feel sufficiently competent and equipped to address these factors optimally.

Healthcare professionals' perspectives on a blended care program in primary care; A qualitative study.

Increasingly, healthcare policies have changed focus from cure and care to behaviour and health. Prevention is becoming more important, which requires a change in the role of healthcare professionals. Healthcare professionals' role is changing from being a therapist to taking on the role of a coach.
