What factors are associated with physical therapists’ use of patient-reported outcome measures in managing patients with low back pain in primary health care in Sweden?

While physical therapists commonly use PROMs for pain, few use them to assess health-related and psychosocial factors. Those with higher educational levels or advanced clinical specialists are more likely to incorporate such PROMs in managing patients with LBP. Future studies should explore educational interventions to improve understanding of PROMs and their role in clinical reasoning within a biopsychosocial framework.
