To pilot test the COMmunity of Practice And Safety Support for Navigating Pain (COMPASS-NP) intervention for home care workers experiencing chronic pain.
Home care workers with chronic pain participated (n = 19; 2 groups) in a 10-week online group program focused on workplace safety and pain self-management. Primary outcomes were changes in pain interference with work and life. Other outcomes related to ergonomics, pain levels, opioid misuse risk, mental health, sleep, and physical activity.
The intervention produced a large reduction in pain interference with life ( d = -0.85) and a moderate reduction in pain interference with work time demands ( d = -0.61). Secondary outcomes showed favorable effect sizes, including a substantial increase in the use of ergonomic tools and techniques ( d = 1.47).
Findings were strongly encouraging. The effectiveness of COMPASS-NP will be evaluated in a future randomized controlled trial.
对社区实践和安全支持导航疼痛(COMPASS-NP)干预措施进行试点测试,以帮助患有慢性疼痛的家庭护理人员。
患有慢性疼痛的家庭护理人员参与了为期 10 周的在线小组计划(n = 19;2 组),该计划侧重于工作场所安全和疼痛自我管理。主要结果是疼痛对工作和生活的干扰程度的变化。其他结果与人体工程学、疼痛水平、阿片类药物滥用风险、心理健康、睡眠和身体活动有关。
该干预措施大大降低了生活中疼痛的干扰(d = -0.85),适度降低了工作时间需求中疼痛的干扰(d = -0.61)。次要结果显示出有利的效果大小,包括对人体工程学工具和技术的大量使用(d = 1.47)。
研究结果非常令人鼓舞。COMPASS-NP 的有效性将在未来的随机对照试验中进行评估。
