Self-efficacy as a prognostic factor and treatment moderator in chronic musculoskeletal pain patients attending pain management programmes: A systematic review.
Evidence on the effectiveness of pain management programmes (PMPs) for chronic pain patients is mixed. Self-efficacy may be associated with outcome of PMPs. The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the role of self-efficacy as a (i) prognostic factor and (ii) moderator of treatment, in chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) patients attending a PMP. ⋯ Baseline self-efficacy may play a role in physical function outcomes in CMP patients attending a PMP. Higher quality evidence is needed to determine the influence of self-efficacy on outcomes in this setting.
