The influence of self ‐efficacy, fear‐avoidance belief, and coping styles on quality of life for Chinese patients with chronic non‐specific low back pain: A multi‐site cross‐sectional study

ConclusionsSelf‐efficacy and FAB are both directly and indirectly related to the global QOL, and coping styles are important mediating variables. Self‐efficacy and active coping are protective factors for QOL of CLBP patients, while FAB and passive coping are risk factors. Health education strategies are recommended by medical personnel to enhance CLBP patients’ pain self‐efficacy, decrease pain FAB, and modify pain coping styles, so that their global QOL can be improved.This article is protected by copyright.
