(376) Impact of the Harborview Chronic Pain Self-Management Program on participants ’ quality of life, confidence and pain experience

The Chronic Pain Self-Management Program (CPSMP) is as an evidenced-based model that helps sufferers of chronic pain conditions learn how to better manage their pain symptoms and overall health status. The CPSMP involves a six-week long workshop that is designed for adults with chronic pain conditions to work together and build off of each other ’s strengths and knowledge regarding pain management. The program is adapted from the well-researched Chronic Disease Self-Management Program developed at Stanford that followed more than 1000 people with heart disease, lung disease, stroke or arthritis in a three-year randomized, controlled trial demonstrating improvements in many areas of health status, health care utilization, self-efficacy and self-management behaviors.
