Abstract

This study examined low back pain patients’ (N=50) perceptions of what they considered to be helpful and unhelpful social support from various sources over the previous six months. Among types of social support, tangible support was most likely to be rated as helpful, whereas emotional support was the type of support most likely to be rated as unhelpful. Patients reported only rare instances of dissatisfaction with tangible support across various providers. Among support sources, instances of tangible support from physicians, and emotional support from friends, family, and spouses were recalled as most helpful. Physical therapists were named as providing the greatest amount of all three types of social support and were rated as rarely providing unhelpful social support. These findings suggest that the desirability of different types of social support varies as a function of the source of support and indicate that physical therapists are perceived by back pain patients as particularly helpful in their provision of social support.
