Abstract:
This exploratory study investigated the dimensions of pain perceived by seven people with chronic low back pain of non-cancer origin. Using the technique of focus group discussions, the participants gave their perspectives on living with chronic pain. Transcripts from the groups were content analysed to give an indication of the relative importance of the emerging themes. The aspect of family/personal relationships emerged as an important theme, as did affect/emotions (both positive and negative), symptoms/features of pain, mobility, domestic activities and treatment. The extent to which these themes are currently being assessed by health professionals is briefly considered. Recommendations for further research are made.
