Clinical characteristics of pain will be evaluated by multidimensional questionnaires, in addition to self-efficacy, quality of life, functional literacy and sociodemographic profile. Health professionals will be evaluated by an attitude towards pain inventory. It is expected to demonstrate the effectiveness of interdisciplinary pain education work in managing the biopsychosocial impacts of pain by promoting knowledge and self-management strategies in the care of this chronic condition.
