Objective: To determine resilience, and health belief as significant predictors of treatment outcomes in low
back pain patients.
Study Design: Quantitative cross sectional survey research design.
Place and Duration of Study: Data was collected from rehabilitation centers of Lahore between March, 2018 to
October, 2018.
Materials and Methods: The subjects (n=300) were recruited after screening them through a detailed clinical
inventory on the basis of low back pain as acquired in the course of life happening and not as an outcome of
some accidental or infection-induced events. Standardized scales were used to collect the data such as Health
Locus of Control Belief Scale, Resilience Scale, and Treatment Outcome Efficacy Scale. Data collected was
analysed through SPSS 23.00.
Results: There were 330 respondents who filled the questionnaires but thirty respondents evaluated in first
phase during pilot study were not included in the final data set. Among 300 finally recruited subjects after
screening for low back pain, results of Pearson product moment correlation analysis exposed significant
relationship in study variables. Further it was established through regression analyses that resilience and
health beliefs sustain as significant positive predictors of treatment outcome efficacy while significant gender
differences in health beliefs were observed.
Conclusion: Health belief and resilience are significant predictors of treatment outcome efficacy in lower back
pain patients. Enhancing health beliefs and resilience may improve treatment outcome efficacy in patients with
lower back pain. This research is expedient among health care practitioners for dealing with the people with
low back pain with more insightful understanding of psychological dimensions.
