Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Self-efficacy to manage pain related to KnowledgeTranslation Action Cycle (KTAC) Evaluate Outcomes:<br>The measurement of self-efficacy will therefore capture the effectiveness of all interventions regardless of the specific type of self-management strategy. The Stanford Arthritis Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES)will be used to assess participants’ self-efficacy. The self-efficacy pain scale and self-efficacy of other symptoms scale of the ASES tool will be combined. [At baseline, 6 weeks immediate post-intervention, 3 and 6 months follow-up. ]
