Abstract

Summary: Objective: To compare change in self-efficacy for managing knee osteoarthritis (OA) pain and kinesiophobia after watching an educational video based on an empowerment and participatory discourse with a video based on a disease and impairment discourse. Design: Two-arm randomised controlled trial with participants aged ≥45 years with knee pain (n = 589). Participants completed both baseline and follow-up outcomes and watched one randomly-allocated video (12-minute duration) during one 30–45-minute session within a single online survey. The experimental video presented evidence-based knee OA information using design and language that aimed to empower people and focus on activity participation to manage OA, while the control video presented similar information but with a disease and impairment focus. Primary outcome measures were Arthritis Self-Efficacy Scale pain subscale (range 0–10) and Brief Fear of Movement Scale for OA (range 6–24). Secondary outcomes were expectations about prognosis and physical activity benefits, perceived importance and motivation to be physically active, knee OA knowledge, hopefulness for the future, level of concern and perceived need for surgery. Results: Compared to control (n = 293), the experimental group (n = 296) showed improved self-efficacy for managing OA pain (mean difference 0.4 [95%CI 0.2, 0.6] units) and reduced kinesiophobia (1.6 [1.1, 2.0] units). The experimental group also demonstrated greater improvements in all secondary outcomes apart from hopefulness, which was high in both groups. Conclusion: An educational video based on an empowerment and participatory discourse improved pain self-efficacy and reduced kinesiophobia in people with knee OA more than a video based on a disease and impairment discourse.
