Description
This pain management program was a stakeholder informed intervention adopting the biopsychosocial pain approach for people with hypermobility syndromes experiencing pain. Program feasibility, acceptability and appropriateness here were evaluated qualitatively to understand participants' experiences and perceptions of the program. One-on-one semi-structured online interviews of participants were undertaken with data analysed using inductive thematic analysis. The overarching themes from the interviewed confirmed the results of the quantitative study, that is the HOPE program was considered feasible, acceptable and appropriate for people with hypermobility syndromes. Our study findings will be used to refine future iterations of the program, which could be retested through a fully powered trial.
