Although chronic pain is a global health problem, the current care situation is often inadequate. eHealth offers many advantages as an additional option for treating chronic pain. Yet, an intervention's efficacy can only be fully exhausted if patients intend to use it. This study aims to identify the needs and demands of patients with chronic pain regarding intervention concepts and frameworks to develop specifically tailored eHealth pain management interventions. A cross-sectional study was conducted, including 338 individuals with chronic pain. Within the cohort, a distinction between a high- and a low-burden group was made. Respondents generally preferred a permanently accompanying mobile app, but the preferred content varied with group. According to the majority, interventions should be made available on smartphones, offer sessions once per week with a duration from 10 to 30 min, and be recommended by experts. These results can provide the basis for future eHealth pain management interventions tailored to the patients' needs and demands.
尽管慢性疼痛是一个全球性的健康问题，但目前的护理状况往往不尽如人意。电子健康作为治疗慢性疼痛的一种额外选择具有诸多优势。然而，只有患者愿意使用，干预措施的功效才能得到充分发挥。本研究旨在确定慢性疼痛患者在干预概念和框架方面的需求，以开发专门定制的电子健康疼痛管理干预措施。开展了一项横断面研究，纳入了338名慢性疼痛患者。在该队列中，区分了高负担组和低负担组。受访者普遍更喜欢一款长期陪伴的移动应用程序，但偏好的内容因组而异。大多数人认为，干预措施应在智能手机上提供，每周进行一次时长为10至30分钟的课程，并由专家推荐。这些结果可为未来根据患者需求定制的电子健康疼痛管理干预措施提供依据。
