iCanCope with Pain™: User‐Centred Design of a Web‐ and Mobile‐Based Self‐Management Program for Youth with Chronic Pain Based on Identified Health Care Needs
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: While there are emerging web‐based self‐management programs for children and adolescents with chronic pain, there is currently not an integrated web‐ and smartphone‐based app that specifically addresses the needs of adolescents with chronic pain. OBJECTIVES: To conduct a needs assessment to inform the development of an online chronic pain self‐management program for adolescents, called iCanCope with Pain™. METHODS: A purposive sample of adolescents (n=23; 14 to 18 years of age) was recruited from two pediatric chronic pain clinics in Ontario. Interdisciplinary health care providers were also recruited from these sites. Three focus groups were conducted with adolescents (n=16) and one with pediatric health care providers (n=7). Individual adolescent interviews were also conducted (n=7). RESULTS: Qualitative analysis uncovered four major themes: pain impact; barriers to care; pain management strategies; and transition to adult care. Pain impacted social, emotional, physical and role functioning, as well as future goals. Barriers to care were revealed at the health care system, patient and societal levels. Pain management strategies included support systems, and pharmacological, physical and psychological approaches. Transition subthemes were: disconnect between pediatric and adult systems; skills development; parental role; and fear/anxiety. Based on these identified needs, the iCanCope with Pain™ architecture will include the core theory‐based functionalities of: symptom self‐monitoring; personalized goal setting; pain coping skills training; peer‐based social support; and chronic pain education. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed iCanCope with Pain™ program aims to address the self‐management needs of adolescents with chronic pain by improving access to disease information, strategies to manage symptoms and social support.

“Other mobile-based technologies have been developed to assist patients in remotely self-monitoring symptoms and deliver interventions involving goal-setting for improving functioning, coping skills training and practice, and social support via discussion boards, goal sharing, and group-based challenges [55].”

“Our focus on reviewing studies of mHealth apps for self-managing chronic conditions may explain this finding, as these interventions encourage users to systematically record data and capture the variability of their disease state over time [84].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
