The influence of 'significant others' on persistent back pain and work participation: a qualitative exploration of illness perceptions
Background
Individual illness perceptions have been highlighted as important influences on clinical outcomes for back pain. However, the illness perceptions of 'significant others' (spouse/partner/close family member) are rarely explored, particularly in relation to persistent back pain and work participation. The aim of this study was to initiate qualitative research in this area in order to further understand these wider influences on outcome.
Methods
Semi-structured interviews based on the chronic pain version of the Illness Perceptions Questionnaire-Revised were conducted with a convenience sample of UK disability benefit claimants, along with their significant others (n=5 dyads). Data were analysed using template analysis.
Results
Significant others shared, and perhaps further reinforced, claimants' unhelpful illness beliefs including fear of pain/re-injury associated with certain types of work and activity, and pessimism about the likelihood of return to work. In some cases, significant others appeared more resigned to the permanence and negative inevitable consequences of the claimant's back pain condition on work participation, and were more sceptical about the availability of suitable work and sympathy from employers. In their pursuit of authenticity, claimants were keen to stress their desire to work whilst emphasising how the severity and physical limitations of their condition prevented them from doing so. In this vein, and seemingly based on their perceptions of what makes a 'good' significant other, significant others acted as a 'witness to pain', supporting claimants' self-limiting behaviour and statements of incapacity, often responding with empathy and assistance. The beliefs and responses of significant others may also have been influenced by their own experience of chronic illness, thus participants lives were often intertwined and defined by illness.
Conclusions
The findings from this exploratory study reveal how others and wider social circumstances might contribute both to the propensity of persistent back pain and to its consequences. This is an area that has received little attention to date, and wider support of these findings may usefully inform the design of future intervention programmes aimed at restoring work participation

The River Lune strategic stock assessment survey 1991 with particular reference to salmonids
In the past stock assessment surveys were generally
reactive in response to a particular problem e.g. a
pollution incident and as such were limited in the
information they provided. A programme of strategic stock
assessment would be more beneficial, providing up to date
information on the status and composition of the stock.
On a national level this could reveal trends in
population dynamics and enable comparisons to be made
between key rivers and between regions.
The Stock Assessment Task Group (1991) has recommended
annual strategic surveys for juvenile salmonids and
triennial strategic surveys for coarse fish and non-
migratory salmonids.
The aim of this pilot study was to gain information on
species distribution and their relative abundance within
the River Lune catchment, and to compare the findings
with the surveys carried out between 1981-1985. This
would provide valuable information on the current status
of the stock and provide an indication of the resources
required to conduct such strategic surveys on other river
catchments in the North West Region of the National Rivers Authority
