Point de vue des patients du programme lombalgie d'une maison de santé landaise.

Since 2018, a team from a French primary health care center, composed of general practitioners, physiotherapists, Asalée nurses, and a psychologist, has implemented a program for the management of low back pain with high risk of chronicity. However, many patients who were enrolled in the program abandoned it during the course. This qualitative study aims to explore the patients' feelings regarding this program. It reveals that patients found positive elements at each stage of the care process: awareness, a key message, specific learning, or psychological support, enabling some to significantly improve their low back pain or empower themselves even before completing the program. For others, schedules that were incompatible with work or family obligations acted as significant barriers to continuing the program. Improved selection and follow-up of patients, as well as other measures to enhance the experience of particularly working patients could perhaps limit absenteeism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
