Description
Summary:To examine the change in the Patient Activation Measure and physical and psychosocial outcome measures in a military interdisciplinary intensive outpatient program for persistent pain. Pre- and post-intervention measures, which were also stratified by gender and baseline activation, included patient-reported outcomes and physical function assessment, obtained from 2017 to 2018 program database. The majority of the participants were male (70.9%), with an average age of 29.18 years and pain duration of 4.78 years (n = 103). Patient activation, majority of the patient reported outcomes and functional assessments improved in the overall sample with fewer changes in females on the Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale. Improvements were noted on the Patient Activation Measure and majority of the other outcome measures suggesting that service members with persistent pain at any level of patient activation or baseline function, may benefit from an intensive outpatient program.
