Home exercise programs (HEPs) are cost-effective and efficacious treatments for musculoskeletal pain conditions. Although HEPs are an important part of the continuum of care, non-adherence limits their effectiveness.
The objective of this study was to examine adherence and specific barriers to clinician-prescribed HEPs in adults with musculoskeletal pain.
A cross-sectional study was conducted with a total of 300 patients presenting to an outpatient pain clinic in an academic medical center. Participants' self-reported information, including HEP completion frequency and barriers, was collected through a survey.
The participants' mean age was 54.1 ± 15.8 years (females = 133 (65.5%)). Of 203 participants, 99 (48.8%) adhered to HEP, 56 (27.6%) partially adhered, and 48 (23.6%) did not adhere. One hundred eighty-seven (92.1%) participants reported receiving adequate instructions, and 175 (86.2%) reported receiving instructional materials. Age and "sufficient instructions" were found to be significant determinants of adherence (p< 0.05), while gender and handouts were not (p> 0.05). Pain in more than one body part was significantly (p< 0.05) associated with motivational barriers for non-adherence.
Age and participants' perception of sufficient instructions were significant factors for non-adherence. These results emphasize the importance of therapist-provided instructions to overcome barriers to adherence.
家庭运动计划(HEP)是治疗肌肉骨骼疼痛疾病的一种具有成本效益且有效的治疗方法。尽管 HEP 是连续护理的重要组成部分,但不依从会限制其效果。
本研究旨在探讨肌肉骨骼疼痛成年人对临床医生规定的 HEP 的依从性和具体障碍。
对一家学术医疗中心的门诊疼痛诊所就诊的 300 名患者进行了横断面研究。通过问卷调查收集了参与者的自我报告信息,包括 HEP 完成频率和障碍。
参与者的平均年龄为 54.1 ± 15.8 岁(女性 = 133(65.5%))。在 203 名参与者中,99 名(48.8%)依从 HEP,56 名(27.6%)部分依从,48 名(23.6%)不依从。187 名(92.1%)参与者报告接受了足够的指导,175 名(86.2%)报告接受了指导材料。发现年龄和“足够的指导”是依从性的重要决定因素(p<0.05),而性别和讲义则不是(p>0.05)。一个以上身体部位的疼痛与不依从的动机障碍显著相关(p<0.05)。
年龄和参与者对足够指导的看法是不依从的重要因素。这些结果强调了治疗师提供的指导对于克服依从性障碍的重要性。
