“…28 This approach allows researchers to better understand caregiving dyads’ needs and expectations for outcomes. Additionally, participants may help identify potential problems with compliance and barriers to intervention adherence, 29 which are critical components for improving outcomes related to pain management. Building off the work from this first stage, future stages of intervention research includes efficacy trials (randomized clinical trials), effectiveness trials (to test the generalizability of the program), and broad dissemination efforts.…”

Background: People who experience persistent pain often require help from a family member, partner, or friend. These caregivers frequently have pain but are often not included in interventions. Caregivers and care receivers who both experience pain are more likely to be socially isolated, and experience communication conflict and decreased quality of life. Interventions should target caregiving dyads to help them manage their pain together. However, there are few intervention manuals or research protocols developed to support the dyad. Objective: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the needs of caregiving dyads, including input from dyads and medical and allied health experts to inform the development of an intervention manual for dyads with persistent pain. Method: A total of 16 caregiving dyads experiencing persistent pain, one care receiver (caregiver could not participate), and 8 health experts, recruited from the community, participated in focus groups. Data were transcribed verbatim, uploaded into NVivo software, and analyzed using constant comparison qualitative methods. Results: Findings identified the importance of a new intervention to focus on modifiable approaches to managing pain as a dyad, addressing the emotional and psychological effects of experiencing pain as a dyad, and careful consideration of logistics to implement an intervention with dyads in persistent pain. Conclusion: These results highlight important considerations to meet the needs of caregiving dyads with pain. This study informed the development of the MY-Skills intervention, a novel program that merges self-management education with adaptive yoga to treat persistent pain in caregiving dyads.

Background There is a need to further understand the nature and role of planning for one’s lifestyle in retirement. Objective The purpose of this study was to examine retirement planning and how it impacts perceived preparedness and satisfaction with the retirement transition, as well as to explore personal experiences of retirement. Methods Canadians (n = 748) fully or partly retired participated in an online survey that included quantitative questions about perceived retirement preparedness and satisfaction and open-ended questions about retirement goals, fears, challenges, and advice. Findings Results determined that while both financial and lifestyle planning were significant predictors of higher perceived preparedness, only lifestyle planning was a significant predictor for satisfaction. Overall, no gender differences were detected. Open-ended comments highlighted the importance of planning for one’s lifestyle in retirement, including meaningful activities and social connections. Discussion Individualized career advising as well as group-based educational programs or peer-assisted learning initiatives appear warranted to support people in planning for their lifestyle in retirement.

ObjectivesThis study evaluated stakeholders’ experiences of participating in a coproduction process to develop a physical activity referral scheme (PARS) in the German healthcare system. The focus was on examining facilitators and challenges, along with gathering insights on potential modifications to the joint development process, all from the viewpoint of stakeholders.DesignThis qualitative study employed one-to-one semi-structured interviews, and the findings were analysed using summarising qualitative content analysis.SettingThe study focused on the German healthcare system.ParticipantsSeven stakeholders from the coproduction process were purposefully selected for interviews using maximum variation sampling. The interviewees represented different sectors (physician associations, physical activity professionals’ associations, health insurance companies and patient organisations), various positions within their organisations, and different levels of attendance during the coproduction process.ResultsIn almost all interviews, the following factors were highlighted as facilitators of the development process: coproduction approach, process of coproduction, multi-sector stakeholder group, possibility of active participation, coordinating role of researchers, communication, atmosphere and interaction. In contrast, differences in roles and hierarchy, merging of different perspectives, clarification of intervention costs, and competition and conflicting interests were pointed out as challenges. Only a few suggestions regarding adaptations in terms of group composition and cooperation among stakeholders were mentioned.ConclusionsStakeholder experiences with the joint development process were predominantly positive, indicating that coproduction is a beneficial approach for the development of PARS intended for integration into healthcare systems. The effective management of power differences among stakeholders is intricately tied to the coproduction method; therefore, it should be selected carefully. The research team plays a pivotal role in coordinating and negotiating the process, and the team should be equipped with a diverse set of skills and knowledge, particularly to understand the intricacies of the healthcare system where the PARS is intended for implementation.Trial registration numberNCT04947787.
