Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System 29Change from week start of MBSR intervention (week 0) to end of intervention (week 8), 3-month follow-up (week 21)

Change in 8 health-related quality of life domains as measured by the PROMIS 29. PROMIS-29 is a generic patient reported outcome measure, which includes four items from each of the seven PROMIS domains (physical function, depression, anxiety, fatigue, sleep disturbance, and ability to participate in social roles and activities, pain interference) and a single item on pain intensity. Each item has five response options (values 1 to 5), except for the pain intensity item which has eleven response options (values 0 to 10). A total raw score is computed for each domain as the sum of the response to each question within the domain, leading to seven domain scores, each from 4 to 20.

French-Canadian Chronic Pain Self-Efficacy ScaleChange from week start of MBSR intervention (week 0) to end of intervention (week 8), 3-month follow-up (week 21)

The French-Canadian Chronic Pain Self-Efficacy Scale (Lacasse et al., 2015) is a 6-item scale that measures an individual's confidence in his/her ability to manage chronic pain in general and pain-related symptoms. Items are rated on a 10-point Likert scale ranging from 1 = not at all confident to 10 = entirely confident. Score range is 6-60 with higher scores reflecting greater chronic pain self-efficacy.

Global Rating of Change Scale3-month follow-up (week 21)

The Global Change Rating Scale (11-point visual analogue scale raging from minus 5 to plus 5) will be used to assess the participants' perception of improvement (or decline) in relation to their self-efficacy in manging pain at the end of the MBSR intervention.

Chronic Pain Acceptance QuestionnaireChange from week start of MBSR intervention (week 0) to end of intervention (week 8), 3-month follow-up (week 21)

The Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ-8; Fish et al., 2010 ) is an 8-item scale comprised of two subscales: activity engagement and pain willingness. Items are scored on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 0 = never true to 6 = always true. Score range is 0-48 with increases in scores meaning better outcome.

Pain Disability IndexChange from week start of MBSR intervention (week 0) to end of intervention (week 8), 3-month follow-up (week 21)

Change in pain disability as measured by the The French-Canadian Pain Disability Index (score range is 0-70 with decreases in scores meaning better outcome)

Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global-10Change from week start of MBSR intervention (week 0) to end of intervention (week 8), 3-month follow-up (week 21)

Change in domains of health and functioning as measured by the PROMIS Global-10, score range is 7-35 with increases in scores meaning better outcome

Pain Catastrophizing ScaleChange from week start of MBSR intervention (week 0) to end of intervention (week 8), 3-month follow-up (week 21)

Change in pain catastrophizing as measured by the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (French Canadian version). PCS is a 13-item measure using a 5-point Likert scale (0=not at all, 4=all the time) with score range between 0-52 with decreases in scores meaning better outcome.
