Brief Summary:
Pain in cancer patients is estimated to be as high as 90 and results in physical and psychological disability Behavioral interventions that increase patients confidence in their ability to manage their pain have been shown to be beneficial Behavioral interventions for cancer pain teach patients how their thoughts and feelings can influence their pain and specific strategies eg relaxation for decreasing cancer pain However despite guidelines recommending such interventions be used in the care of cancer patients with pain they are not routinely used A critical barrier to the use of behavioral interventions is that patients have difficulties attending appointments which are typically offered at the medical center during normal business hours Mobile health mHealth technologies provide new opportunities to decrease such barriers The investigators have developed a new mHealth approach that may increase the use of behavioral cancer pain interventions and ultimately lead to greater use of interventions that can decrease pain and disability
The investigators propose to test an approach that uses mHealth technologies to deliver a behavioral cancer pain intervention to patients in their home using a tablet computer eg iPad and video-conferencing eg Skype The investigators will randomly assign 160 cancer patients with breast lung prostate or colorectal cancer pain to receive either mHealth Pain Coping Skills Training system mPCST or to receive a traditional in-person pain coping skills training intervention protocol PCST-trad at the medical center The investigators will test whether the mPCST is more accessible to patients than PCST-trad The investigators expect that mPCST compared to PCST-trad will a be more feasible meaning that more patients will complete it in a timely manner b create less burden meaning it is easier for patients physically emotionally and financially to participate c increase engagement meaning that patients will practice skills more and have more understanding of the material and d be more overall acceptable to patients the investigators also expect that patients who find this intervention more feasible less burdensome more engaging and more acceptable will be more likely to experience decreased pain physical disability and psychological disability and increased confidence in their ability to manage their pain
The investigators goal is to use mHealth technologies to facilitate wide-spread use of behavioral cancer pain interventions Increased use of mHealth behavioral cancer pain interventions will particularly benefit patients living far from medical centers eg rural experiencing cancer-related physical challenges and facing other practical barriers eg transportation work to in-person interventions These outcomes could lead to future work evidencing that mHealth behavioral interventions could be applied to other areas of quality of life in cancer patients eg fatigue andor in other samples of patients with persistent pain eg arthritis
