Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The complexity of chronic musculoskeletal pain requires the need to know the treatment strategies from the perspective of the service user. The objective of this study was to analyze the satisfaction and perception of individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain participating in a pain neuroscience education program in the online and face-to-face modalities. 
METHODS: This is a cross-sectional observational study, composed of 26 participants, of which 13 individuals participated in 10 meetings of face-to-face pain education (FG), and the other 13 in the online modality (OG). The satisfaction assessment consisted of 10 questions from the MedRisk Instrument for Measuring Patient Satisfaction With Physical Therapy Care, and the perception assessment was obtained by means of seven questions developed by the researchers, specific about the pain education program. For statistical analysis, Mann-Whitney and Chi-square tests, Biostat software and significance level (0.05) were used. 
RESULTS: Of the 17 questions, there was a difference between the groups in only 5 questions. The FG reported greater satisfaction and perception in the questions of “explanation about the treatment received” (Chi2=6.19; p=0.05), “ways to avoid future problems” (Chi2=4.727; p=0.03), “return to future services” (Chi2=4.727; p=0.03), “relationship with other people” (10 vs 8; p=0.03) and “increased level of physical activity” (9 vs 8; p=0.03). 
CONCLUSION: There was good satisfaction and perception of individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain participating in a pain neuroscience education program both in the online and face-to-face modality. Some differences were observed between both, especially in issues that seem to involve face-to-face contact with a professional, with more positive results in the FG.

Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A complexidade da dor musculoesquelética crônica exige a necessidade de conhecer as estratégias de tratamento sob a perspectiva do usuário do serviço. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a satisfação e a percepção de indivíduos com dor musculoesquelética crônica sobre um programa de educação em neurociência dor nas modalidades online e presencial. 
MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo observacional do tipo transversal, composto por 26 participantes, dos quais 13 indivíduos participaram de 10 encontros de educação em dor presencial (GP), e os outros 13 na modalidade online (GO). A avaliação da satisfação consistiu em 10 questões do MedRisk Instrument for Measuring Patient Satisfaction With Physical Therapy Care, e a avaliação da percepção foi obtida por meio de sete perguntas desenvolvidas pelos pesquisadores, específicas sobre o programa de educação em dor. Para análise estatística, foram utilizados os testes de Mann-Whitney e Qui-quadrado, software Biostat e nível de significância ≤0,05. 
RESULTADOS: Das 17 questões, houve diferença entre os grupos apenas em 5 questões. O GP relatou maior satisfação e percepção nas questões que se referem a “explicação sobre o tratamento recebido” (Qui2=6,19; p=0,05), “formas de evitar futuros problemas” (Qui2=4,727; p=0,03), “retorno para futuros serviços” (Qui2=4,727; p=0,03), “relacionamento com outras pessoas” (10 vs 8; p=0,03) e “aumento do nível de atividade física” (9 vs 8; p=0,03). 
CONCLUSÃO: Indivíduos com dor musculoesquelética crônica mostraram boa satisfação e percepção de um programa de educação em neurociência da dor tanto na modalidade online quanto na presencial. Algumas diferenças foram observadas entre ambas, sobretudo nas questões que parecem envolver contato face-a-face com um profissional, com resultados mais positivos quando o programa é oferecido de forma presencial.
