BACKGROUND: There is a lack of qualitative research on how patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) undergoing surgery perceive their health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Research that increases our understanding in this area could facilitate a biopsychosocial approach to care.
AIM: We aimed to investigate the experiences of patients with LSS undergoing decompression surgery regarding their pre- and post-surgery perceptions of HRQOL and the pre-and post-operative information and physiotherapy.
METHOD: We used a qualitative design with semi-structured interviews to perform content analysis using an inductive approach. Twelve patients (7 female, 5 male) were included post-surgery and interviewed by phone. The interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim.
RESULTS: Four distinct categories with nine associated subcategories were identified: Patients' feelings of safety and empowerment are enhanced by healthcare professionals; Divided perceptions of information and physiotherapy in a group context; Health-related quality of life is associated with patients' perceived physical capacity; Patients' optimism and concerns influence health-related quality of life.
CONCLUSION: Both physical and psychological factors pre- and post-surgery appear to influence patients' HRQOL. Inherent optimism and feelings of empowerment in the care process appear to be important factors, regardless of physical health status. A strong patient-provider relationship is important to promote self-efficacy, which may positively affect perceived HRQOL and is in line with the generally recommended biopsychosocial approach in the treatment of people with low back pain. As qualitative studies in this area are scarce, there is a need for further studies to validate our findings.
