Overview
Brief Summary
Based on a mixed-methods design, the objective of this trial is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the "Agir pour moi" program, an 8-week online self-management program for chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP). The investigators will also explore its potential effects on self-efficacy, pain interference, pain severity, anxiety, depression, catastrophizing, and global impression of change in adults with CNCP awaiting services from a chronic pain multidisciplinary treatment center.
Detailed Description
The mixed-methods sequential explanatory design combines a quantitative questionnaire-based study with a subsequent in depth qualitative approach.
