"A spiritual consultant and a psychologist will interview the participants about their experiences of chronic low back pain, how they interpret their pain experience and how they cope with the persistent pain. Each participant will be interviewed individually.~Questions related to the following three aspects will be asked:~1. Attributes: describe the changes in your personality, mood, and general happiness you have observed after you starting having chronic low back pain.~2. Pain resilience: How would you describe this persisting pain experience? How do you arrange your daily activity? What do you do to deal with this persistent pain?~3. Spirituality: As a person with chronic low back pain, how do you interpret this pain experience? Do you seek connections with higher powers (such as powers from religion) when you are desperate because of pain? Since the pain is chronic and persistent, it might not go away, how would you define your life?"
