Southern European LBP patients have similar perceptions to those in other cultural settings. LBP jeopardizes patients' QoL and self-esteem. When pain improves significantly, patients are happy to acknowledge it and resume their normal life. Implications for Rehabilitation People with low back pain (LBP) want to be treated with respect and empathy by clinicians who inspire confidence and refrain from judging them. When faced with a new evidence based treatment, people with subacute and chronic LBP are hopeful, but apprehensive. Most of those who experience a clinically meaningful improvement after treatment are happy to acknowledge it and resume an active and fulfilling life. People who report no improvements after being treated, should be believed.

Research suggests that siblings of individuals with severe mental illness are affected by the situation and that health care services seem to be inadequate in meeting their needs for support. The aim of this study is to explore how siblings of individuals with a psychotic illness, and who have participated in a support group, experience their situation. Thirteen individuals participated in focus group interviews, which were analyzed by inductive content analysis. The findings were interpreted into an overall single theme: A lonely life journey bordered with struggle. This theme consists of three categories: facing existential thoughts, facing ambiguity in approach and engagement, and facing disparate attitudes and expectations.

Background Discharge from critical care to a general care unit is a difficult period, and more effective information is needed to support patients and their families at this time. Objectives This study sought the views of patients, relatives and health care staff on (1) the most effective methods of delivering critical care discharge information, (2) the required information content of any proposed strategies, (3) the benefits and limitations of any existing strategies, and (4) potential resource implications. Methods In this qualitative focus group study, 11 adult patients, 8 family members, and 23 health care staff in England took part in 8 focus group interviews at 2 hospitals. The computer software program NVIVO7 was used for thematic analysis of the data. Results Three key themes were identified from the data: (1) considerations related to effective discharge information, (2) goals of critical care discharge information, and (3) resource implications. Conclusions This focus group study provides unique user insight into what influences successful and unsuccessful information giving. Based on real experiences, it adds to the limited international body of current evidence. Findings will be of value in designing future critical care discharge information and identifying the related resource implications.
