The aim of the study was to describe how back trouble is interpreted by health care providers and a sample of the general population. Health care providers (general practitioners, physiotherapists, chiropractors, and specialists in rheumatology), in total 1018 professionals, filled out a mailed questionnaire. A sample of the general population, 3204 individuals, were interviewed concerning the interpretation of back trouble. Health care providers and the general population interpret a hypothetical episode of acute back trouble in different ways. Compared with the other provider groups and the general population, chiropractors to a higher degree classify back trouble as illness and a larger proportion would seek professional assistance. Both health care providers and the general population point out that back trouble is related to lack of physical fitness.
该研究的目的是描述医疗保健提供者和一部分普通人群对背部问题的理解方式。医疗保健提供者(全科医生、物理治疗师、脊椎按摩师和风湿病专科医生),共计1018名专业人员,填写了一份邮寄的调查问卷。抽取了3204名普通人群样本,就其对背部问题的理解进行了访谈。医疗保健提供者和普通人群对假设的急性背部问题发作的理解方式不同。与其他医疗提供者群体和普通人群相比,脊椎按摩师将背部问题更多地归类为疾病,且寻求专业帮助的比例更大。医疗保健提供者和普通人群都指出,背部问题与身体缺乏锻炼有关。
