Effective management\nrequires adequate education, strong clinical\ndecision-making skills, and accurate interpretation of red flags. This narrative literature\nreview explores the educational, diagnostic,\nand decision-making aspects of back and\nneck pain among laypeople, healthcare students, and professionals. It aims to synthesize findings from studies assessing disease-specific knowledge to emphasize how\ntargeted educational programs can enhance\nstudents\u2019 understanding and, consequently,\nimprove their future clinical practice.\nMethods \u2013 A thematic analysis of relevant\ninternational literature published between\n2000 and 2025 was conducted. The review\nfocused on studies examining disease-specific knowledge, differential diagnostic skills,\npsychosocial factors, and the interpretation\nof red flags. Findings were organized by target group and summarized narratively.\nResults \u2013 Across all target groups, substantial gaps were identified in disease-specific\nknowledge, differential diagnostic competencies, and clinical decision-making skills. While\neducational interventions demonstrated\npositive effects on knowledge levels and\nattitudes, their implementation remains inconsistent.\nConclusion \u2013 Structured, targeted educational programs introduced early in healthcare training can significantly enhance students\u2019 disease-specific knowledge. Strengthening differential diagnostic skills, improving\nred flag interpretation, and integrating\nevidence-based guidelines are essential for promoting safe, effective, and standardized\nclinical practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.18071\/isz.78.0367","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,1]],"date-time":"2025-12-01T09:39:56Z","timestamp":1764581996000},"page":"367-374","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Disease-specific knowledge and differential diagnostic skill in clinical care"],"prefix":"10.18071","volume":"78","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0205-9834","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Blanka Bernadett","family":"Kasza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-6456-9722","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kinga","family":"N\u00e1kity","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1557-2680","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Domj\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"7411","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"container-title":["Ideggy\u00f3gy\u00e1szati szemle"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/elitmed.hu\/en\/publications\/clinical-neuroscience\/disease-specific-knowledge-and-differential-diagnostic-skill-in-clinical-care\/pdf-open","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,1]],"date-time":"2025-12-01T09:39:56Z","timestamp":1764581996000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/elitmed.hu\/en\/publications\/clinical-neuroscience\/disease-specific-knowledge-and-differential-diagnostic-skill-in-clinical-care"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"11-12","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.18071\/isz.78.0367","relation":{},"ISSN":["0019-1442","2498-6208"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0019-1442","type":"print"},{"value":"2498-6208","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025]]}}}
