- Previous trials explored stratified care linking psychological screening with targeted treatments.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore challenges in implementing PiP within routine musculoskeletal care.
- To investigate reasons behind implementation difficulties.
- To provide recommendations for PiP development and integration.
Main Methods:
- Exploration of implementation challenges in routine musculoskeletal care.
- Analysis of factors affecting the feasibility and adequacy of PiP training.
- Review of psychological obstacles to recovery and the role of psychologists.
Main Results:
- Significant challenges exist in implementing PiP in routine musculoskeletal settings.
- Questions raised regarding the adequacy of current training for PiP.
