ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT To enhance patient-centred care of people with hip pain, we need a comprehensive understanding of peoples' beliefs about their hip pain. This systematic review explored the beliefs and expectations of middle-aged and older adults about chronic hip pain and its care across different healthcare settings and contexts. This review was a synthesis of qualitative studies using a framework synthesis approach. We searched 5 databases MEDLINE, CINAHL, The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE, and PsycINFO. Two reviewers independently screened the studies for eligibility. We included qualitative studies that included people with a mean age of older than 45 years and 80% or more of the participants had chronic hip pain, or if they reported the data about participants with chronic hip pain who were 45 years or older separately. We excluded studies of people with systemic conditions and studies not published in English. We included 28 studies involving 352 participants with chronic hip pain. We generated 5 themes (1) biomedical causes (subtheme 1 scary pathoanatomical labels, subtheme 2 information needs); (2) negative impacts on physical, social, and mental health; (3) activity avoidance or modification and rest; (4) treatment failures (subtheme information and support were helpful); (5) surgery is inevitable. Middle-aged and older adults labelled their hip joint damaged and attributed their hip pain to age, and wear and tear. People coped with their hip pain by avoiding or modifying activity. People were not educated about treatments or used treatments that failed to improve their hip pain. People believed that surgery for their hip was inevitable.
