Knowledge, Beliefs and Attitudes of Greek Physiotherapist About Pain Neuroscience Education

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
An e-survey study will be carried out based on Checklist for Reporting Results of 52 Internet E-Surveys (CHERRIES). The purpose of this study is to investigate the knowledge, beliefs and behaviour of Greek physiotherapists regarding the pain neuroscience education program (PNE) as an intervention in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The main questions it aims to answer are: What physiotherapists know about a PNE program; What physiotherapists believe about the using of a PNE program in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain? Whether and how often they use a PNE program in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain? What are the barriers of using PNE in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain?

| Knowledge related to Pain Neuroscience Education | A question about how much do they know about Pain Neuroscience Education using a 10-point Likert scale, where 0=I don't know anything about the concept and 10=I have comprehensive knowledge on the concept. | Baseline | 
| Beliefs related to Pain Neuroscience Education | A question about how much do they believe a Pain Neuroscience Education is useful as an intervention in chronic musculoskeletal patients, using a 6-point Likert scale, where 0=completely disagree and 10=completely agree. | Baseline | 
| Attitudes related to Pain Neuroscience Education | A question about the application of a Pain Neuroscience Education as an intervention in chronic musculoskeletal patients, using a 6-point Likert scale, where 0=completely disagree and 10=completely agree. | Baseline | 
| Barriers related to Pain Neuroscience Education | 5 statements with specific barriers for Pain Neuroscience Education using a 6-point Likert scale, where 0=completely disagree and 10=completely agree and an open question about other barriers. | Baseline |
