Background: Spinal pain is most common symptom in pain clinic. In most cases, before the treatment of spinal pain, physician explains the patient¡¯s disease and treatment. We investigated patient¡¯s satisfaction and physician¡¯s explanation related to treatments in spinal pain patients by questionnaires.
Methods: Anonymous questionnaires about physician¡¯s explanation and patient¡¯s satisfaction in each treatment and post-treatment management were asked to individuals suffering from spinal pain. Patients who have spinal pain were participated in our survey of nationwide university hospitals in Korea. The relationships between patient¡¯s satisfaction and other factors were analyzed.
Results: Between June 2016 and August 2016, 1007 patients in 37 university hospitals completed the questionnaire. In the statistical analysis, patient¡¯s satisfaction of treatment increased when pain severity was low or received sufficient preceding explanation about nerve block and medication (P £¼ 0.01). Sufficient explanation increased patient¡¯s necessity of a post-treatment management and patients¡¯ performance rate of post-treatment management (P £¼ 0.01).
Conclusions: These results show that sufficient explanation increased patients¡¯ satisfaction after nerve block and medication. Sufficient explanation also increased the practice of patients¡¯ post-treatment management.
