What this Trial Is About
Researchers are exploring how adults with chronic pain perceive and experience an internet-based psychological treatment called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (IACT). The study aims to understand patients' expectations before starting IACT and how these expectations relate to their experiences during and after the treatment. This qualitative research focuses on improving knowledge about patient needs and expectations to make IACT more accessible and patient-centered. Participants will engage in a 7-week IACT program delivered online with therapist support mainly through text messages. The treatment includes modules on mindfulness, psychoeducation, values, and self-compassion. Interviews will be conducted three times with each participant: before the treatment begins, during the treatment (around week 3), and after the treatment ends at week 7. Throughout the study, participants will complete interviews and various questionnaires measuring pain, acceptance, self-efficacy, catastrophizing, quality of life, mental health, and global impression of change. The research team will analyze these responses to understand how the treatment meets patient expectations and needs. The total participation time for each individual is about 7 weeks, with data collected before, during, and after the therapy.
