Dutch Dataset Vocational Rehabilitation for Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain: Baseline Patients' Characteristics and Program Eligibility.

Purpose: Vocational rehabilitation (VR) is an intervention to improve return to work for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). However, a systematic overview of characteristics of referred patients or eligible for VR is lacking, which hinders comparability across studies. Objectives were (1) to describe characteristics of patients with CMP referred to and eligible for VR and (2) to identify factors that contribute to VR eligibility.

Influence of obesity prevalence on social norms and weight control motivation: a cross-sectional comparison of the Netherlands and the UK.

This cross-sectional survey study explored associations between perceived bodyweight norms, psychological need satisfaction and motivation for weight control among 500 adult residents of two countries with different overweight/obesity prevalence: the UK (63% prevalence) and the Netherlands (50%). A hypothesised model of the effects of descriptive norms (i.e.

A pilot study in the association between Waddell Non-organic Signs and Central Sensitization.

Study Design: A cross-sectional observational multicenter pilot-study was performed within care as usual in three rehabilitation centers in the Netherlands.

Objective: To explore the relationship between Waddell Non-organic Signs (NOS) and Central Sensitization (CS) in patients with chronic back pain.

Summary Of Background Data: A possible relationship between NOS and CS is theoretically plausible, but it has never been tested.

Lifting capacity is associated with central sensitization and non-organic signs in patients with chronic back pain.

Purpose: To analyze the associations between lifting capacity, and central sensitization (CS) and non-organic signs (NOS) in patients with chronic back pain (CBP) attending vocational rehabilitation.

Materials And Methods: Cross-sectional observational multicenter study among patients with CBP undergoing a return to work assessment within care as usual. Main analyses: step 1: partial correlation between lifting capacity, and CS, NOS, and additional variables; step 2: multiple regression in stepwise forward method for dependent variable lifting capacity, and for independent variables CS and NOS, and additional variables significant ( < 0.
