Article Synopsis
- There is a strong support for using biopsychosocial approaches in understanding chronic pain, but this perspective is often neglected due to lack of training and a focus on biomedical methods.
- Research shows that both experienced doctors and medical students acknowledge some psychosocial factors in chronic pain cases, but they struggle to apply these insights in practice, often due to time constraints with patients.
- The study aims to explore how medical students view the factors affecting the use of biopsychosocial approaches in clinical decision-making for chronic pain, using interactive management methods to identify and model these influences, with recommendations for improving treatment policies.
