    Physiotherapists' adherence to Clinical Practice Guidelines in fibromyalgia: a cross-sectional online survey
    (Springer, 2024-06-05) Gacto Sánchez, Mariano Luis; Baño Alcaraz, Aitor; Ferrández‑Gómez, José Édgar; Nouni García, Rauf; Gascón Jaén, Jaime; Lozano Quijada, Carlos; Fisioterapia
    To evaluate the level of knowledge and adherence to Clinical Practice Guidelines on fibromyalgia of physiotherapists in Spain. A cross-sectional study using an ad-hoc online survey was implemented to assess aspects on the assessment, treatment, and decision of the length of the therapeutic approach on fibromyalgia. Based on the results, professionals were classified as adherent, partially adherent, or non-adherent. The level of agreement with several statements on the condition was also evaluated across the professionals surveyed to evaluate the potential consensus. A total of 240 physiotherapists met inclusion criteria, amongst which 68 (28.33%) were adherent. The academic level of studies (Chi-square = 48.601, p-value = 0.001) and having had previous training in fibromyalgia (Chi-square = 151.011, p-value = 0.001) displayed statistically significant differences across adherence-based groups. Consensus was reached for 15 out of 24 statements. Our findings highlight the presence of an acceptable level of knowledge and adherence to clinical practice guidelines in the field of fibromyalgia among physiotherapists in Spain.Practice implicationsOur results also reveal the existence of an evidence-to-practice gap in the field, with potential room for improvement: further efforts on promoting and reinforcing the importance of evidence-based therapies are needed, from university teaching plans to clinical updates for daily practice.

    Spanish cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric validation of the graded chronic pain scale revised for fibromyalgia
    (Elsevier, 2025-09-23) Ferrández Gómez, José Édgar; Gacto Sánchez, Mariano Luis; Baño Alcaraz, Aitor; Fisioterapia; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de Medicina
    Background Chronic widespread pain represents one of the cornerstones in the definition of fibromyalgia. Pain severity can be measured through different instruments, among which the Graded Chronic Pain Scale represents an outstanding framework to assess pain. Its revised version (GCPS-R) has been recently created to adhere to the new paradigmatic definition of chronic pain. Despite the relevance and clinical impact of the GCPS-R, its validation into Spanish has not been performed yet. Objectives To develop a cross-cultural Spanish-language adaptation of the GCPS-R in a sample of patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Besides, we aimed to carry out an initial psychometric analysis of the questionnaire in this population. Methods An observational, prospective, longitudinal study was conducted among a sample of subjects with fibromyalgia. The translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the GCPS-R was performed, and the new version of the instrument was administered to patients with fibromyalgia. Construct validity was assessed by means of factor analysis, whilst internal consistency, convergent validity, and test–retest reliability were also performed. Results The sample analyzed consisted of 224 subjects overall. Factor 1 displayed a Cronbach's alpha of 0.711, whilst Factor 2 had an alpha value of 0.890. The convergent validity analysis performed on the pain-intensity subscale of the instrument yielded statistically significant and strong correlation coefficients (Pearson's r = 0.713; p-value < 0.001). Test–retest reliability yielded weighted Cohen's Kappa scores of 0.537 (p-value < 0.001). Conclusion The GCPS-R-SP represents a simple, easy to administrate, and clinically efficient measure with favorable psychometric properties, covering the level and the impact of chronic pain in subjects with fibromyalgia. ----------------------
