Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Digital Health Interventions
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Existing pain self-management tools often neglect workplace-specific challenges.
  • Employees with chronic pain face barriers like fear of disclosure, discrimination, and lack of support.
  • Employers frequently lack resources and fail to implement reasonable adjustments for pain management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop the evidence-based Pain at Work (PAW) digital toolkit.
  • To provide employees with strategies for self-managing chronic pain in the workplace.
  • To address facilitators and barriers to work ability for individuals with persistent pain.

Main Methods:

  • Collaborative-participatory design using a 4-step Agile methodology (N=452).
  • Involved stakeholder consultation, online surveys with employees (n=274) and employers (n=107).
  • Integrated findings into toolkit development with iterative expert peer review (n=40).

Main Results:

  • Employees fear disclosing pain and report discrimination and lack of manager support.
  • Employers rarely provide pain self-management resources and often don't action occupational health recommendations.
  • Pain-related stigma is prevalent in the workplace.

Conclusions:

  • The PAW toolkit offers evidence-based guidelines, self-management strategies, and advice on workplace adjustments.
  • It aims to improve work capacity, promote healthy lifestyles, and facilitate participation for employees with chronic pain.
  • Co-creation with diverse stakeholders ensured relevance and applicability for effective workplace pain self-management.
