[Fear avoidance beliefs, pain-related self-efficacy, and subjective work ability among back pain patients : A  pilot study with voluntary subjects].

CONCLUSION: Work-related fear avoidance beliefs among back pain patients seem to be important for subjective work ability in the short term. This especially holds true when patients have low self-efficacy beliefs. The investigated constructs should be emphasized in the patient-centered therapy. Longitudinal studies with larger samples and more frequent follow-ups should be investigated in future studies. PMID: 31041528 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
