Method: This research plan will be implemented upon obtaining the approval from IRB. An estimated 15 cases will be enrolled. Through in-depth interviews and collection of observational data during interviews, the interviewer will record, transcribe and analyze the narratives and experience descriptions.
A spiritual consultant and a psychologist will interview the participants about their experiences of chronic low back pain, how they interpret their pain experience and how they cope with the persistent pain. Each participant will be interviewed individually.
Questions related to the following three aspects will be asked:
1. Attributes: describe the changes in your personality, mood, and general happiness you have observed after you starting having chronic low back pain.
2. Pain resilience: How would you describe this persisting pain experience? How do you arrange your daily activity? What do you do to deal with this persistent pain?
3. Spirituality: As a person with chronic low back pain, how do you interpret this pain experience? Do you seek connections with higher powers (such as powers from religion) when you are desperate because of pain? Since the pain is chronic and persistent, it might not go away, how would you define your life?
Plan of analysis: The current study will adopt interpretative phenomenological analysis to to examine the pain experience of the participants. After data was collected through interview, transcripts will be coded in detail. In the process of analyzing the text, the investigators will categorize the text into themes.
The results of this study can become an important basis for clinical care of patients with chronic low back pain.
