Introduction: Targeting psychosocial factors in patients with persistent spinal pain is recommended for more favourable outcomes in physiotherapy. However, some clinical challenges hinder a biopsychosocial treatment. Hence, Back2Action was developed. This study aims to gain insight into the experiences of physiotherapists using this blended treatment for patients with persistent spinal pain. Methods: The design of this study is mixed methods; The qualitative component is a thematic content analysis of semi-structured interviews with physiotherapists (N = 15) from the RCT 'Back2Action'. The quantitative component used digital questionnaires assessing user-friendliness. Results: Five themes emerged from the interviews; (1) Back2Action is an unexpected shift in treatment. The added eHealth intervention provides quality of information and structure. (2) Physiotherapists report becoming aware of their own biases and capabilities. (3) Their expectations towards patients with persistent pain and perceived patient expectations of a 'quick fix', could lead to a resistance of this new approach. (4) A surprising strengthening of the therapeutic relationship is reported due to growing experience and confidence. (5) Successful implementation requires supervision, intervision and means. The quantitative analyses showed that the overall intervention is perceived as user-friendly with a mean score of 74 (range 0-100) and a net promotor score of 7.9 (range 0-10). Discussion: Back2Action is considered a valuable treatment tool for physiotherapists. Process evaluation: A limitation of this study is the expert level of the physiotherapists and the generalisation of these results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
