A review of behaviour change theories and techniques used in group based self-management programmes for chronic low back pain and arthritis

Interventions to increase adherence to therapeutic exercise in older adults with low back pain and/or hip/knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Given the vast array of factors known to influence exercise adherence in people with chronic low back pain and/or osteoarthritis, no single strategy will be effective in overcoming all barriers to exercise participation in all people, all of the time 16 18 20 44 48. For interventions to effectively facilitate behaviour change, the use of theoretical rationale is imperative when designing interventions 49.…”

An assessment of physiotherapist’s delivery of behaviour change techniques within the SOLAS feasibility trial

“…Moreover, the fidelity rate of 56.8% of BCTs per class is lower than previous PA, smoking cessation, and general practitioner training studies (range=63.6–79.0%) (Beck et al ., ; French et al ., ; Lorencatto et al ., ). However, direct comparisons are difficult as previous research involved individual interactions, single target behaviours, and reported fewer BCTs (Bishop, Fenge‐Davies, Kirby, & Geraghty, ; Keogh, Tully, Matthews, & Hurley, ). Specifically, within group‐based self‐management programmes for CMP, a mean of just eight BCTs are typically reported, nearly four times less than the SOLAS intervention protocol (Keogh et al ., ; Marley et al ., ).…”

Specifically, within group‐based self‐management programmes for CMP, a mean of just eight BCTs are typically reported, nearly four times less than the SOLAS intervention protocol (Keogh et al ., ; Marley et al ., ). The complexity of the SOLAS intervention arose from the challenge of pragmatically addressing six self‐management behaviours despite limited and variable evidence regarding which BCTs would effectively target their hypothesized determinants of change; therefore, a wide range of BCTs were selected (Hurley, Murphy, Hayes , et al ., ).…”

Behaviour change techniques associated with adherence to prescribed exercise in patients with persistent musculoskeletal pain: Systematic review

“…Search terms were informed by other reviews on chronic/persistent musculoskeletal pain (Hall et al, 2015;Jordan et al, 2010) and health behaviour change (Galea, Weinman, White, & Bearne, 2013;Keogh et al, 2015). The search used combined terms for chronic pain AND behaviour therapy AND exercise and their appropriate MeSH terms (see Appendix S2 for tailored search strategy and all MeSH terms).…”
