 The study found that Ghanaian patients with chronic low back pain, CLBP, have predominantly biomedical or mechanical beliefs about the cause of their condition, which are largely influenced by healthcare providers and socio-cultural norms. These beliefs lead to passive coping and management practices, such as avoidance of physical activities and reliance on medication. Additionally, some patients adopt more positive beliefs and engage in active strategies, such as exercise and pacing, but these are not widely adopted due to lack of physiotherapists and limited access to information. The study suggests that more positive beliefs and holistic approaches should be encouraged to help patients manage their CLBP.
