A qualitative analysis of patient ‐identified adaptive behaviour changes following interdisciplinary Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for chronic pain

ConclusionsThese data provide initial insights into the patient's perspective of adaptive behavioural changes gained as part of an interdisciplinary programme of chronic pain rehabilitation. Overall, the data suggest the importance of a mix of both ACT‐specific and more universal coping/pain rehabilitation elements. Future research may examine how these processes relate more directly to treatment outcome. SignificanceThis study provides new qualitative insights into the patient's perspective of adaptive behavioural changes gained as part of interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation. This and future work may help provide a more detailed understanding of the processes and behaviours that result in successful rehabilitation outcomes.
