Abstract

Abstract Objectives Back pain is one of the most challenging health conditions to manage. Healthcare providers face additional challenges when managing back pain for patients with culturally diverse backgrounds including addressing linguistic barriers and understanding patients’ cultural beliefs about pain and healthcare. Knowledge about patients with culturally diverse backgrounds experiencing back pain and the interventions available to them is limited. Therefore, this study aims to describe the characteristics of patients with culturally diverse backgrounds experiencing back pain and the video interpretation intervention offered to them and further to explore the clinician’s perspective on this intervention. Methods Data were collected from the electronic medical records and the Interpreter Gateway. Four clinicians participated in a group interview, where they described and evaluated the video interpretation intervention in detail inspired by the template for intervention description and replication (TIDieR) checklist and guide. Results A total of 119 (68%) patients accepted the intervention (53% women, mean 44 years). These patients represent 24 different languages, with 50% having at least one hospital-registered diagnosis and a mean number of five outpatient contacts, 1 year before receiving the intervention. Fifty-seven patients did not accept the intervention and declined interpretation or opted to use relatives or through video conferencing equipment. The intervention was positively evaluated by the clinicians. Conclusions The detailed description of the population and the intervention together with the clinician perspective provides a valuable foundation for developing and refining similar interventions, allocating resources, and designing future research studies. The intervention consisted of a consultation lasting up to 2 h delivered by a rheumatologist and a physiotherapist, with a remote interpreter connected.
