Novel motivational interviewing‐based intervention improves engagement in physical activity and readiness to change among adolescents with chronic pain

“…engaging in intensive interdisciplinary pain treatment (IIPT) was also found to be feasible and acceptable to families of youth with persistent pain. 42 However, this programme did not address movement and exercise as the primary intervention component.…”

“…Our results indicate that the M3 training programme exhibits potential feasibility and acceptability among adolescents living with CP, which aligns with a recent study in which a novel telehealth MI‐based intervention (PREPaRe) to enhance readiness to change before engaging in intensive interdisciplinary pain treatment (IIPT) was also found to be feasible and acceptable to families of youth with persistent pain. 42 However, this programme did not address movement and exercise as the primary intervention component.…”

Special issue on “Self‐management challenges of chronic pain experiences in children and young people: A developmental perspective”

“…Articles within the special issue adopt a range of methodologies (i.e., mixed methods design, qualitative design, intervention development, and narrative review) across various key stages of young people's development, including the stage of emerging adulthood (18–30 years 4 ). It is noteworthy to mention that across the articles, a different operationalization for young people was adopted, ranging from the typical narrow adolescent focus (11–17 years adopted by Ghio et al 8 ) to wider operationalizations (e.g., 8–18 years 9 or 12–22 years of age 10 ). A lack of consensus regarding the ages associated with adolescence and young adulthood is consistent with the developmental literature.…”

“…The article by Smith and Logan 9 addresses the commonly observed problem of engaging adolescents within intensive interdisciplinary pain treatment (IIPT) programmes for chronic pain (which include self‐management support). Smith and Logan 9 comprehensively describe the development of a pediatric telehealth intervention to improve young people's and their parent's readiness and engagement with such IIPT programmes: Promoting Readiness and Engagement in Pain Rehabilitation (PREPaRE).…”

Smith and Logan 9 comprehensively describe the development of a pediatric telehealth intervention to improve young people's and their parent's readiness and engagement with such IIPT programmes: Promoting Readiness and Engagement in Pain Rehabilitation (PREPaRE). The PREPaRe intervention follows the evidence‐based principles of motivational interviewing and was developed through consultation with experts, and further refined through a pilot study with young people with chronic pain and their parents.…”
