Time constraints
|
"I intended to try to recruit patients but I think there is too much going on during the consultation to assess LBP that to add to it by discussing a 'study' would have been information overload. So unfortunately, recruiting for your study was the first thing to go - just not enough time for everything in general practice."
|
|
Few eligible patients
|
"Most of my patients have chronic LBP and were not eligible for the study. Only a couple I encountered who were eligible."
|
|
Forgot to recruit patients
|
"It probably would have helped to have a few reminder emails. I tried to make myself remember by putting up a sign at eye level beside my computer, but that didn't help."
|
|
Confusion about recruitment strategies
|
"All the documentation and stamps arrived. My understanding was that your researcher or office would contact our office manager to explain the study. This did not occur. I was left without direction."
|
|
Lack of patient interest
|
"Few patients were approached and not interested, then I lost the interest."
|
|
Lack of patient incentives
|
"Suggest a free physiotherapy appointment/or better still a $30 petrol voucher for their time if complete survey. You would be inundated."
