Abstract |
Physical therapists are well established as providers of treatments for common, painful and disabling conditions, such as knee osteoarthritis (OA). Thus, they are well placed to deliver treatments that integrate physical and psychosocial elements. Attention is usually given to outcomes of such programs, but few studies have examined the processes and outcomes of training physical therapists to deliver such treatments. This study describes the processes in training physical therapists to deliver a standardised pain coping skill treatment (PCST), and to evaluate the effectiveness of that training. |
