Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The first objective is to evaluate the experience of an ACT relapse prevention program “NaDien” by chronic pain patients and chronic fatigue patients after the inpatient program at RCR. The primary focus of the “NaDien”-program is to support chronic pain patients and chronic fatigue patients after their treatment to persist in value-based behavior. Therefore, the first aim of the study is to examine how patients evaluate this program and whether they are satisfied with it. User experience -Did the online ACT relapse prevention program support the patients in maintaining value-based behavior? -How satisfied are patients with the use of an online ACT as relapse prevention? Furthermore, we want to examine the adherence of the ACT program. We are interested in the adherence of the program by the chronic pain patients, because this is the first time this intervention is examined. The adherence of the online ACT relapse prevention program will be registered automatically by the system. The following aspects will be monitored: -Frequency and duration of one log in. -Frequency and duration of page views of the different parts of the program (values and actions, diary, exercises, tips). -Frequency of the use of the guidance by SMS and which kind of guidance. | — |
