Healthcare professionals’ perspectives on the utility of chronic postsurgical pain prediction profiles in perioperative care: a qualitative study
Healthcare professionals expressed a balanced view of chronic postsurgical pain risk profiles, recognising both scepticism about them and their potential benefits. Effective implementation will require predictive validity, clear guidance, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Education and training will be essential to support clinicians in interpreting and acting on risk information.
