Assess whether the Harnessing Online Peer Education (HOPE) social media-based support group can engage patients on opioids at risk for misuse/overdose to discuss risk reduction strategies. Fifty-one patients on chronic opioid therapy and risk factors for aberrant medication-taking behaviors were randomized to a HOPE intervention or control (Facebook) group. Compared to control group participants, intervention participants had almost 10 times higher posting engagement ( = 411 posts versus 45; 73% versus 52% of participants). Participants discussed coping, pain, medication and non-medication treatments, and other opioid and addiction-related topics. Results suggest that a HOPE online community might serve as an effective behavioral intervention tool among chronic pain patients on opioid therapy.
评估基于社交媒体的“利用在线同伴教育(HOPE)”支持小组是否能够吸引有阿片类药物滥用/过量风险的患者,讨论减少风险的策略。51 名接受慢性阿片类药物治疗且有异常用药行为风险因素的患者被随机分配到 HOPE 干预组或对照组(Facebook 组)。与对照组参与者相比,干预组参与者的发帖参与度几乎高出 10 倍( = 411 条帖子与 45 条帖子;73%与 52%的参与者)。参与者讨论了应对策略、疼痛、药物和非药物治疗以及其他阿片类药物和成瘾相关的话题。结果表明,HOPE 在线社区可能成为阿片类药物治疗慢性疼痛患者的一种有效行为干预工具。
