Activating waitlists: Identifying barriers and facilitators to pain self-management while waiting.
Authors
Tidmarsh LV, Harrison R, Wilkinson H, Harrington M, Finlay KAAbstract
Waitlists for pain management services are often extensive, risking psychological and physical decline and patient non-engagement in treatment once accessed. Currently, for outpatient pain management, no standardised waiting list interventions exist, resulting in passive waiting. To arrest prospective wait-related decline(s), this study aimed to identify the barriers and facilitators to pain self-management while waiting, forming the foundation for a waitlist intervention development.
