his is a randomized clinical trial study in which the

effectiveness of an educational program on beliefs and

Physical Activity (PA) behavior of Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP)

was explored. Firstly, 88 eligible patients were randomly divided

into the intervention (N=43) and the control group (N=45).

Just the intervention group received the educational program

based on Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA). The mean age of

the intervention and the control group were 40.14±6.8 and

38.33±5.46 respectively. The constructs of behavioral beliefs

(p=0.002), evaluation of behavioral outcomes (p<0.001),

normative beliefs (p<0.001) and motivation to comply with

normative belief (p=0.005) in the intervention group were

improved significantly compared with the other group.

Although, PA in the intervention group was promoted for 6

months (p<0.001), the interaction between time and group in

terms of this behavior was not significant (p=0.21).This study

verified that the designed educational program based on TRA

constructs could improve beliefs of CLBP patients to decrease

fear of pain and physical inactivity. This study showed the

designed theory-based education program could be a baseline

to improvebeliefs of CLBPpatients to increase their PAgradually.
