The relationships between pain-associated psychological distress, pain intensity, patient expectations, and physical function in individuals with musculoskeletal pain: A retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: The presence of pain-associated psychological distress (PAPD) in musculoskeletal disorders, including negative mood, fear-avoidance, and lack of positive affect/coping, is associated with prolonged disability. The importance of considering psychological influence on pain is well known, but practical ways of addressing it are not as straightforward. Identifying relationships between PAPD and pain intensity, patient expectations, and physical function may guide the development of future studies that assess causality and inform clinical practice.

Predictors of clinical experience performance in occupational therapy and physiotherapy: A scoping review.

Introduction: Successful completion of clinical education experiences is a graduation requirement for students in occupational therapy and physical therapy programmes. A scoping review was conducted to determine what is known about possible clinical experience performance predictors and to find associated research gaps.

Methods: The search included one hand-searched journal and seven databases, which were used to identify related relevant studies: CINAHL, Education Database, Education Source, Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), PubMed, REHABDATA, and Web of Science.

Reproducibility of resistance exercise therapy interventions in trials for chronic low back pain is challenging: A systematic review.

Objective: Determine reproducibility of resistance exercise regimens in trials for CLBP and determine if recently available checklists are effective.

Methods: Four databases (Medline, PubMed, Cochrane and CINAHL) were searched for keywords related to back pain and resistance exercise. Reproducibility was assessed using two checklists, the 12-item Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) and the 19-item Consensus on Exercise Reporting Template (CERT).

Perceptions of the professional and personal impact of hybrid fellowship training: a qualitative study.

Objectives: This study aimed to elucidate graduate perceptions of how fellowship training impacted their post-training professional and personal lives.

Methods: Interviews were conducted with 13 graduates of a hybrid (e.g.
