A move towards self-management is central to health strategy around chronic low back pain, but its concept and meaning for those involved are poorly understood. In the reported study, four distinct and shared viewpoints on self-management were identified among people with pain and healthcare providers using Q methodology. Each construes self-management in a distinctive manner and articulates a different vision of change. Identification of similarities and differences among the viewpoints holds potential for enhancing communication between patients and healthcare providers and for better understanding the complexities of self-management in practice.
向自我管理转变是慢性腰痛健康战略的核心，但对于相关人员而言，其概念和意义却鲜为人知。在该报告的研究中，采用Q方法在疼痛患者和医疗服务提供者中确定了关于自我管理的四种不同但有共通之处的观点。每种观点都以独特的方式阐释自我管理，并阐明了不同的变革愿景。识别这些观点之间的异同，对于加强患者与医疗服务提供者之间的沟通以及更好地理解实践中自我管理的复杂性具有潜在意义。
