Navigating uncertainty in low back pain care through an ethic of openness: Learnings from a post-critical analysis
Theoretical and practical guidance on how to navigate uncertainties in healthcare are scarce. Here, we draw from Gibson’s ethic of openness to explore clinicians’ experiences navigating uncertainty with individuals who experience low back pain (LBP) and provide guidance on avenues for navigating uncertainty in LBP and healthcare more broadly. Our analysis suggests that clinicians practice within different philosophical commitments when providing …
Engaging on a slightly more human level: A qualitative study exploring the care of individuals with back pain in a multidisciplinary pain clinic
Chronic low back pain is characterised by multiple and overlapping biological, psychological, social and broader dimensions, affecting individuals' lives. Multidisciplinary pain services have been considered optimal settings to account for the multidimensionality of chronic low back pain but have largely focused on cognitive and behavioural aspects of individuals' pain. Social dimensions are usually underexplored, considered outside or beyond hea…
Distress in the care of people with chronic low back pain: Insights from an ethnographic study
Situated at the intersection of health sociology, sociology of emotions, and physiotherapy, our study offers a worked example of applying an affective assemblage theoretical framework to understanding emotionally imbued clinical interactions. Viewing physiotherapy care through an affective assemblage lens allows for recognising that life, pain, and distress are emerging, always in flux. Such an approach recognises that clinicians and patients exp…
How physiotherapists attend to the human aspects of care when working with people with low back pain: A Thematic Analysis
Pain is a multidimensional experience. Physiotherapy has attempted to enhance earlier biomedical approaches to patient care through approaches like the 'biopsychosocial' model. Nevertheless, physiotherapy continues to focus on biomedical and/or behavioural aspects of care. We critically investigated how physiotherapists attend to human (psychosocial, emotional, existential, and moral) aspects of low back pain care. We co-analysed ethnographic dat…
The ubiquity of uncertainty in low back pain care
Despite clinicians being important actors in the context of uncertainty, their experiences navigating uncertainty remain largely unexplored. Drawing on a theory-driven post-qualitative approach, we used Mol's logic of choice/care as a lens through which we made sense of interviews with 22 clinicians who work with patients who experience low back pain (LBP). Our analysis suggests that uncertainty is ubiquitous in LBP care and not limited to partic…
