Knowledge, Attitudes, Spinal Stenosis, Practice and Pain Management.Abstract
In contemporary society, spinal stenosis prevails across various demographic groups, exposing a gap in understanding and attitudes towards this condition and its associated pain management techniques. This study seeks to delve into the knowledge and attitudes of individuals with spinal stenosis, along with their practices in pain management. A sample of fifty-six subjects was randomly selected from the Sananrak municipality area. The questionnaire comprises three sections: Demographic information, Attitudes and Knowledge about pain management and spinal stenosis, and pain management behaviour. Results indicate that individuals with spinal stenosis exhibit limited knowledge and unfavourable attitudes towards pain management, yet their practical application of pain management techniques is at a moderate level. Consequently, enhancing patient awareness and attitudes concerning spinal stenosis and pain management in the study area is imperative. Remarkably, the implementation of Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) interventions led to significant positive shifts in respondents' attitudes towards pain management.
