Summary

The purpose of the current research project is to examine if the healthcare professionals (HCPs) knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behavior about the management of low back pain (LBP) patients changes following an e-learning intervention (experimental interactive e-learning versus traditional non-interactive e-learning)

Detailed description

The purpose of the current research project is to use an e-learning educational approach to implement guideline-adherent care in first line HCPs. We aim to enhance the knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behavior of HCPs towards a biopsychosocial approach in the management of LBP patients. We will compare the effect of an interactive e-learning intervention (i.e. experimental intervention) to an e-learning intervention without interaction (i.e. traditional intervention). Both interventions will be based on the most recent scientific literature regarding the management of LBP, but both the focus and the didactical approach will slightly differ between the interventions. We will use a mixed methods approach to gain an in-depth understanding of HCPs behavior in clinical practice.
