Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the attitudes and beliefs of medical students in English and in Croatian, Dental medicine, and Pharmacy students at the University of s split school of medicine (USSM) in Split, Croatia and the extent to which the back pain myths were accepted. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out amongst the student population enrolled at USSM. An online questionnaire was administered to 1,100 students in all academic years and was made accessible online between May-October 2020. Data were collected with consent, and participation was voluntary, anonymous, and without compensation. Results: A total of 311 students, out of 1,100 enrolled at the USSM participated in this study. The median age of the participants was 21.0 (18-32) years and student participants were between the age of 18 and 32 years. A minority of student respondents (26%) self-reported a personal experience with acute or chronic low back pain (LBP), and only 18% reported having sought the help of a healthcare professional for their symptoms. Overall, a higher proportion of medical students in Croatian and Pharmacy students (44% and 42% respectively) correctly rejected the back pain myths than did the medical students in English (40%) or Dental medicine students (37%). The majority of students across all study programs (54%) believed that backpain is disabling. The myth with the greatest difference in correct responses across study programs was that ‘there is no real treatment for back trouble’. Forty seven percent of medical students in English agreed with this statement, compared to 18% of medical students in Croatian, Dental medicine, and Pharmacy. A greater proportion of students endorsed alternative treatment regimen for back pain (26%) than they did a surgical approach (19%) or pharmacological approach (14%). Although we did observe differences between year of study, we did not find a correlation between years of training with the number of correct responses. Female respondents were more likely to reject bedrest as a treatment then males (50% female vs 39% male). Male respondents were more likely to reject alternative medicine (42% male vs 26% female) and a surgical approach (43% vs 31%) as the only way to treat back pain. Conclusion: This study confirmed that students at USSM do believe some of the back pain myths, though to a lesser degree than the general population based on data reported in the literature. Additional training regarding chronic pain and the introduction of the back pain myths into medical school curricula should be explored in order to foster the education of clinicians in order for students to endorse an evidence-based approach in their future clinical practice.
