Our objective was to determine the efficacy of a Lifestyle Redesign(R)
intervention for people living with chronic pain on quality of life (QOL),
function, self-efficacy, and pain levels. METHOD:
Clinical outcomes were
collected from 45 patients who completed an individual outpatient Lifestyle
Redesign occupational therapy program for chronic pain as part of their usual
plan of medical care. Outcome measures included the Canadian Occupational
Performance Measure, the 36-Item Short-Form Survey, the Brief Pain Inventory, and
the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire. We analyzed scores using paired-samples t
tests. RESULTS: Significant changes were observed in occupational performance and
satisfaction scores, physical and social functioning, role limitations due to
physical and emotional problems, energy and fatigue, general health, and pain
self-efficacy. CONCLUSION: Lifestyle Redesign interventions, when integrated into
a patient's medical plan of care, can improve patient functioning, self-efficacy and QOL.
