“…As a consequence, patients may feel trapped in the healthcare system and experience feelings of helplessness and injustice (McParland et al 2010). Hope of a solution can keep them searching for a long time, and the realisation that their pain may never go away is likely to arise as a result of repeated treatment failures (Corbett, Foster, & Ong 2007;Iles et al 2012;Liddle, Baxter, & Gracey 2007;Vroman, Warner, & Chamberlain 2009;. Patients have described a gradual decline of hope of a cure, together with the development of feelings of hopelessness, despair, and anxiety about the future (Corbett, Foster, & Ong 2007;Vroman, Warner, & Chamberlain 2009).…”

“…Patients with persistent pain wish to have a definitive diagnosis because it may lead to an effective treatment (Nielsen 2013), but even positive investigation findings may not yield a cure and thus contribute to feelings of hopelessness (Corbett, Foster, & Ong 2007;Toye & Barker 2010). A diagnosis may also be a way of having the pain legitimised, which is important to back pain patients who feel vulnerable to other people's doubts about their sincerity (Vroman, Warner, & Chamberlain 2009).…”

This Masterclass discusses findings from a growing body of qualitative research studies that have investigated the subjective experience of having persistent non-malignant low back pain. These studies have found that people with experience changes in self image, personal relationships and life roles. They have also reported on how subjectivity affects the therapeutic relationship, what patients have found helpful in dealing with healthcare professionals, and what it is like to go through a healthcare system for a pain that may not be curable or even diagnosable. The findings are of great importance for clinicians who wish to provide person centred care for patients with persistent low back pain, so this Masterclass ends with key lessons for practitioners

“…However, the proliferation of studies exploring the experience of chronic non-malignant pain 97,140,206,214,250,261,296,327,342,343,348,363,379,385,427,433,[443][444][445][446][447][448][449][450][451][452][453][454][455][456][457][458][459][460] makes it difficult for clinicians and policy makes to use this knowledge to inform practice and policy, and increases the danger that these findings are 'doomed never to be visited'. 27 Research findings need to be accessible if they are to have an effect on care and policy.…”

The programme will enhance the strategic focus on research that matters to the NHS and is keen to support ambitious evaluative research to improve health services.For more information about the HS&DR programme please visit the website: www.netscc.ac.uk/hsdr/ This reportThe research reported in this issue of the journal was funded by the HS&DR programme or one of its proceeding programmes as project number 09/2001/09.

“…A limitation to using secondary data when conducting grounded theory analysis is no opportunity exists to shape (or reshape) the interview guide nor one to employ theoretical sampling (Birks & Mills, 2011;Charmaz, 2006;Malterud, 2001). However, the use of secondary data sets in qualitative analyses, in general, and grounded theory, in particular, is gaining wider acceptance and adoption by qualitative researchers (Birks & Mills, 2011;Corbett, Foster, & Ong, 2007;Hinds, Vogel, & Clarke-Steffen, 1997).…”
