dc.description.abstract | The aim of this study was to examine the relevance of type of work and socioeconomic status on the experiences of pain rehabilitation for workers with musculo-skeletal injuries. The paper reports results of a study conducted with patients (n=20) and treating professionals (n = 40). The findings of this study provide insight into how patients with chronic musculo-skeletal pain and treating professionals determined success and also what they saw as barriers to success. Emergent themes and rich descriptions that supported the study, showed that patients’ experiences were shaped significantly by social factors, and that type of work and socio-economic status were key determinants of success in terms of patients regaining their sense of independence and control over their lives – as opposed to losing control, remaining helpless and dependent on others, or becoming intent on revenge and validation of their pain and suffering. | |
