Study Summary

Cardiac and orthopedic surgeries are frequent procedures. However, pain after a major surgery may become chronic (lasting \>3 months) in adults. Once discharged from the hospital, patients are at risk for chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) and prolonged opioid use, as they become isolated with high levels of pain. Psychological risk and protective factors such as pain-related catastrophic thoughts and pain acceptance will determine their ability to cope and their opioid use, which makes a support for pain self-management crucial. There is limited research on psychological interventions for pain in the subacute/rehabilitation phase after major surgery. Further, these interventions are demanding and not tailored. Previous work from the Principal Investigator in the acute/hospitalization phase shows that a brief, Web-based intervention tailored to modifiable psychological factors may modulate these and reduce postoperative pain interference. Recently, studies on mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) have multiplied regarding their potential effect on pain acceptance and catastrophic thoughts. Brief, Web-based MBCT for the prevention of CPSP have not been examined. Therefore, a pilot test of a 4-week tailored, Web-based MBCT intervention for adults in the rehabilitation phase will be conducted by 1) assessing the acceptability/feasibility of the intervention; and 2) examining preliminary effects on pain intensity and pain interference with activities, as well as pain acceptance and catastrophic thoughts. This research is significant because it targets the trajectory of CPSP, a leading cause of disability and opioid misuse. This approach is innovative because it promotes pain self-management through the modulation of individual factors. If successful, the intervention could be expanded to numerous populations at risk for chronic pain.
