UNASSIGNED: BACKGROUND Treatment efficacy for the increasing prevalence of @entity615 is a great challenge for both health care providers and individuals coping with this problem. This study aimed to evaluate @entity158 coping strategies used by primary care @entity1 with @entity615 ( @entity615 ) as a supplementation of medical diagnosis before a physiotherapy programme. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 88 @entity1 were divided into 3 age groups: young adults (21-40 years old), middle-aged adults (41-60 years old), and the elderly (over 60 years old). Data was gathered from rehabilitation centers and primary medical care facilities. A cross-sectional design was used. The Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CSQ) was completed before the physiotherapy course. RESULTS @entity1 complained of @entity615 for 11.32  6.81 years on average. The most common strategies to cope with @entity615 included declaring that the @entity158 is manageable, praying and hoping, as well as increased behavioral activity. Statistically significant differences in coping strategies were found between age groups. The elderly @entity1 were more likely to "declare coping with @entity158 " in comparison to the younger age groups (p<0.01). @entity1 over 60 years of age were more likely to declare active coping with @entity158 , while young @entity1 reported catastrophizing. CONCLUSIONS @entity1 in different age groups had various difficulties in @entity158 coping. Most of them required support in self-management of @entity158 in addition to physiotherapy. The basic assessment of @entity158 coping strategies should be consistently taken into account and included in rehabilitation protocols in @entity1118 treatment.
