About this study
Official title: Validation of the French Version of the Questionnaires of Self-efficacy Received From the People With a Chronic Low Back Pain After Return to the Work (10 and 19 Items)
The back pain connected to the work stay a major problem in industrialized countries, in particular because of the repercussions of this affection on the work (sick leave, absenteeism, handicap and inaptitude). It is difficult to consider among all the patients with a Chronic Low Back Pain in the work: how much they are going to stop. However, Investigator can consider that approximately 20 % of the patients have a sick leave. Several studies showed well that more the sick leave work stoppage goes on more the risk of not resumption of work increases. Several risk factors were associated to the evolutionary forecast of the pathology and thus to the extension extra time of the sick leave: individual, environmental, psychosocial and organizational.
The evaluation of the self-efficiency perceived of return in the work of the patients by a validated auto-questionnaire is thus an additional objective parameter determining the risk factors of unfavorable evolution of the patients with Low Back Pain. This parameter also allows highlight other levers of actions in the therapeutic education.
Read the detailed description
First stage: the translation of the RTWSE in French followed the recommendations of the literature, which recommend a double translation, then a double back - translation with synthesis of the data in every stage. A final commission deliberate then a final translation, culturally adapted.
The second stage: the RTWSE is given to the patients with a Chronic Back Pain in the program of functional restoration of the rachis. Questionnaire FABQ, BARBECUE and Quebec are also given to the patient to obtain the status "faith" and the "functional" status. The questionnaire JDI as well as the analog visual scale is given to estimate the global professional satisfaction. The pain is estimated by a digital scale. The score IPAQ allows to estimate the level of physical activity of the patients. The HAD allows to estimate the level of anxiety and depression of the patients.
The additional questionnaires used for several reasons: in routine for the evaluation of the patients with a Chronic Back Pain; to characterize the patients and within the framework of the study for the validity of convergence and difference of questionnaires RTWSE 10 and 19 items.
The third stage: the questionnaire RTWSE is given again to the patient at 72 hours interval while the state of the patient is considered as stable.
The fourth stage: the questionnaires are given at J21 and in 2 months apart for the study of the sensibility in the change with the FABQ, BARBECUE, Quebec and the IPAQ.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Chronic Low Back Pain, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand at 1 site in France.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Psychometric properties of the questionnaires RTWSE (Return To Work Self Efficacy Scale, 10 et 19 items) (time frame: at 0 day). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03088969, which also lists 7 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Nov 2019.
