Abstract:
Although chronic pain is a global health problem, the current care situation is often inadequate. eHealth offers many advantages as an additional option for treating chronic pain. Yet, an intervention\'s efficacy can only be fully exhausted if patients intend to use it. This study aims to identify the needs and demands of patients with chronic pain regarding intervention concepts and frameworks to develop specifically tailored eHealth pain management interventions. A cross-sectional study was conducted, including 338 individuals with chronic pain. Within the cohort, a distinction between a high- and a low-burden group was made. Respondents generally preferred a permanently accompanying mobile app, but the preferred content varied with group. According to the majority, interventions should be made available on smartphones, offer sessions once per week with a duration from 10 to 30 min, and be recommended by experts. These results can provide the basis for future eHealth pain management interventions tailored to the patients\' needs and demands.
摘要:
虽然慢性疼痛是一个全球性的健康问题,目前的护理状况往往不足。eHealth提供了许多优势,作为治疗慢性疼痛的额外选择。然而,只有患者打算使用干预措施,干预措施的功效才能完全耗尽。本研究旨在确定慢性疼痛患者对干预概念和框架的需求和要求,以开发专门定制的eHealth疼痛管理干预措施。进行了横断面研究,包括338名慢性疼痛患者。在队列中,区分了高负担组和低负担组。受访者通常更喜欢永久附带的移动应用程序,但首选内容因组而异。根据大多数人的说法,干预措施应该在智能手机上可用,每周提供一次会议,持续时间从10到30分钟,并由专家推荐。这些结果可以为未来针对患者需求和需求的电子健康疼痛管理干预措施提供基础。
