Abstract

BackgroundNeck pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder. Although surgery reduces symptoms, some patients still report significant pain and disabilities postoperatively. A deeper understanding of patients' experiences is needed to plan coherent rehabilitation.ObjectiveTo explore how patients undergoing cervical spine surgery experience their everyday life pre- and post-operatively.MethodsA qualitative study with a descriptive approach. Nine patients who had recently undergone cervical spine surgery were interviewed. Systematic text condensation was used in the analysis.ResultsFive themes emerged: "Neck pain has an extensive impact", "Surgery gives expectations of a life again", "Handling the situation", "After surgery, it´s in the back of your mind" and "Uncertainty abounds". Patients living with neck pain experience a high impact on physical, mental and social aspects. Acceptance, support and planning are important to deal with the situation. Postoperatively, patients experience a fear of doing something wrong making them refrain from activities.ConclusionLiving with neck pain seems to have an extensive impact on physical, mental and social aspects of everyday life. Although patients have positive expectations, uncertainty concerning physical abilities is a mental challenge. This indicates that the rehabilitation process should target efficient utilization of mental, social and physical resources.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation is a journal whose main focus is to present relevant information about the interdisciplinary approach to musculoskeletal rehabilitation for clinicians who treat patients with back and musculoskeletal pain complaints. It will provide readers with both 1) a general fund of knowledge on the assessment and management of specific problems and 2) new information considered to be state-of-the-art in the field. The intended audience is multidisciplinary as well as multi-specialty. In each issue clinicians can find information which they can use in their patient setting the very next day.
