Abstract
Purpose: The study aimed to explore the effect of a pain neuroscience education (PNE) course on provider burnout, attitudes and beliefs about pain and confidence in treating patients with pain.
Subjects: 209 healthcare professionals taking a PNE course.
Methods: The healthcare providers were surveyed using the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory, Pain Attitudes and Beliefs Scale, and the Pain Care Confidence Scale before attending a PNE course and then at 1-week and 6-months post training.
Results: A small effect (Cohen's d = 0.180, p = 0.024) was found for females at 1-week post-training for the burnout exhaustion score; no other significant effects were found related to burnout. Pain Attitudes and Beliefs Biomedical and Biopsychosocial subscales had significant changes at 1-week (p < 0.001 and p = 0.005) and at 6-months (p < 0.001 and p = 0.005), respectively, moving toward a more biopsychological approach for care. Pain confidence scores significantly improved at both time periods (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001).
Conclusion: A significant finding was that the pain education course positively changed the healthcare providers' pain attitudes and beliefs along with confidence in pain care, but with minimal to no change in burnout scores.
