Self-efficacy, fear avoidance, and pain intensity as predictors of disability in subacute and chronic musculoskeletal pain patients in primary health care
Abstract This study examined the relations between disability , as measured by the Pain Disability Index ( PDI ) and self‐efficacy , fear avoidance variables ( kinesiophobia and catastrophizing ) , and pain intensity , using a prospect i ve design . Two primary health care sample s ( n1=210 ; n2=161 ) of patients with subacute , chronic or recurring musculoskeletal pain completed sets of question naires at the beginning of a physiotherapy treatment period .  Multiple hierarchial regression analyses showed that self‐efficacy explained a considerably larger proportion of the variance in disability scores than the fear avoidance variables in the first sample . This finding was replicated in the second sample . Pain intensity explained a small , but significant proportion of the variance in disability scores in one sample only . Gender , age , and pain duration were not related to disability . These findings suggest that self‐efficacy beliefs are more important determinants of disability than fear avoidance beliefs in primary health care patients with musculoskeletal pain . The findings also suggest that pain‐related beliefs , such as self‐efficacy and fear avoidance , in turn , are more important determinants of disability than pain intensity and pain duration in these patients
