DESCRIPTION: Chronic pain is a major health care and social problem. For many chronic pain patients, medical-based solutions have failed and contribute to iatrogenesis and somatization. While a more comprehensive biopsychosocial approach is required, these patients rarely have benefits covering biopsychosocial-based treatments. This inequality or resources represents a significant problem for patients, the health care system, and primary care providers. An effective educational approach currently exists that instructs patients about self-management strategies from the biopsychosocial perspective. Developed by the project consultants, this course focuses on changing a set of critical misconceptions and false expectations about chronic pain that drives patient disability and increases health care costs. This proposal adapts and extends this classroom-based course to create an Internet-based patient education program, thereby bringing this effective approach to the broader chronic pain market. The project creates an on-line tool to assess individual beliefs, provide individualized instruction based on the assessment, and track patient outcomes. The investigators will also provide a strategy to provide long-term support and reinforce treatment gains. Improved outcomes through patient education occur in a number of chronic diseases. If successful, they will apply this model to other chronic disease conditions.

描述：慢性疼痛是一个主要的医疗保健和社会问题。对于许多慢性疼痛患者来说，基于医学的解决方案失败了，并有助于医疗化和躯体化。虽然需要更全面的生物心理社会方法，但这些患者很少能受益于基于生物心理社会的治疗。这种不平等或资源对患者、卫生保健系统和初级保健提供者来说是一个重大问题。目前存在一种有效的教育方法，从生物心理社会的角度指导患者自我管理策略。这门课程由项目顾问开发，专注于改变一系列关于慢性疼痛的严重误解和错误预期，这些误解和错误预期会导致患者残疾并增加医疗保健成本。这项建议调整和扩展了这门基于课堂的课程，以创建基于互联网的患者教育计划，从而将这一有效的方法带到更广泛的慢性疼痛市场。该项目创建了一个在线工具来评估个人信仰，根据评估提供个性化指导，并跟踪患者的结果。调查人员还将提供一项战略，以提供长期支持和加强治疗成果。在许多慢性病中，通过患者教育改善结果。如果成功，他们将把这种模型应用于其他慢性疾病。
