Abstract

Well-being and quality of life are leading psychological factors that are basically independent of disease and the burdens of life. The more problems a person has to cope with, the more important they become as factors impacting upon an illness. Well-being Therapy (WBT) is a novel psychotherapeutic strategy aimed at promoting psychological well-being. WBT is based on Ryff's multidimensional model of subjective well-being which comprises six subdivisions: mastery of the environment, personal growth, purpose and meaning of life, autonomy, self-acceptance and positive relationships. The aim of this therapy is to improve the patient's performance/activities in all of these areas.

The long-term effect of multidisciplinary back training: a systematic review.

STUDY DESIGN: Systematic review of randomized controlled trials. OBJECTIVES: To determine the long-term effect of multidisciplinary back training on the work participation of patients with nonspecific chronic low back pain. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Chronic low back pain is influenced by multiple factors. Multidisciplinary back training represents one of the options to take this multiplicity into account. So far, only evidence of the short-term effectiveness of this approach in terms of work participation is available. METHODS: Electronic databases were searched and the references of various articles were screened for relevant publications. Ten studies met the inclusion criteria. All included studies were evaluated for their methodologic quality. RESULTS: Five of the studies had a low methodologic quality. All high-quality studies found a positive effect on at least one of the 4 outcome measures used. Based on our criteria, effectiveness was found for the outcome measures of work participation and quality of life. No effectiveness was found for experienced pain and functional status. The intensity of the intervention seems to have no substantial influence on the effectiveness of the intervention. CONCLUSION: In the long-term, multidisciplinary back training has a positive effect on work participation in patients with nonspecific chronic low back pain.
