Online Psychology Program for Chronic Pain After Surgery
Sponsor: University Health Network, Toronto
Summary
This project will evaluate the feasibility of a new fully self-guided online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) program entitled Advancing Online Psychology Tools for the Transitional Pain Service (ADOPT-TPS), developed on an online health application platform called Manage My Pain (MMP). The ACT program is designed to teach mindfulness skills and provide psychoeducation about post-surgical pain. The feasibility of the self-guided online program will be compared to a pre-existing psychologist-guided workshop that delivers the same program. It is anticipated that the self-guided online ACT program will be deemed feasible by participants.

Self-Guided Online ACT Program
Participants will be invited to access the ACT program on the Manage My Pain (MMP) app. Participants will follow the instructions in the app to complete the program in a self-paced manner. The program includes psychoeducational materials, guided mindfulness meditations, and self-reflection activities.
Treatment As Usual
Participants will be invited to join a one-session ACT group workshop guided by a psychologist. The session will take place virtually using video call software. The psychologist will guide participants through the workshop agenda, which will include psychoeducational material, guided mindfulness meditations, and partaking in voluntary discussions with other group members.
