Study population: Individuals who have been experiencing low back pain for at least 3 months and agree to participate in the study

Brief summary: Most people experience low back pain at some point in their lives, and most low back pain is classified as nonspecific because the factor causing the pain cannot be identified. Current guidelines recommend self-management interventions for the management of nonspecific low back pain. The most commonly used assessment measures measure pain, disability, and quality of life. However, it is important to evaluate patients' ability to manage their nonspecific LBP-specific disease.

In 1997, Howie and colleagues introduced the concept of enablement, which represents patients' enablement, understanding of, and ability to cope with their health and illness. They developed the "The Patient Enablement Instrument" to measure patient competence based on the theory that if patients' competence increases, other important outcomes will improve. The Patient Enablement Instrument has since been translated into many languages and has generally demonstrated moderate to good validity and reliability. However, there are limitations to using the Patient Enablement Instrument as an outcome measure.

Inspired by the Patient Enablement Instrument, researchers from Denmark and Sweden developed the Patient Enablement Instrument for Back Pain , which could potentially be used as an outcome measure for interventions aimed at improving self-management in people seeking treatment for low back pain. In 2021, Nielsen et al. The validity and reliability of the scale was determined by and its use was recommended in the population experiencing low back pain. The aim of our study is to culturally adapt the Patient Enablement Instrument for Back Pain into Turkish and to examine its validity and reliability.
