Clinical Trial Summary

The World Health Organization's (WHO) understanding of health(care) is incrementally incorporating the spiritual dimensions equivalent to the physical, psychological and social ones. Yet, it remains widely neglected in multi-modal, interprofessional chronic pain therapy. To support gaining access to chronic pain patients' spiritual needs and concerns within therapy, a screening tool has been constructed based on foregoing qualitative research and literature. The screening tool is to be validated with chronic pain patients in clinical settings.


Description:

Addressing spiritual concerns and needs in chronic pain therapy is in line with the World Health Organization's (WHO) understanding of health(care) and would improve health care for this patient group. An applicable screening tool for chronic pain patients' spiritual concerns and needs must be empirically based. Based on preceding focus group interviews with patients and with health care professionals in various clinical settings and literature analysis, a screening tool has been constructed. This tool aims at supporting health care professionals as well as chronic pain patients in gaining access to spiritual concerns and needs for incorporation in multi-modal, interprofessional pain therapy. In this project the screening tools' psychometric properties will be tested with in five distinct clinical in- and out-patient settings.
