Abstract:
One in four Canadians is affected by chronic pain, frequently treated with opioids, which present a risk of addiction and overdose. The development of non-pharmacological interventions is therefore crucial. In a pilot project, a self-hypnosis training program showed encouraging results in improving breast cancer patients' quality of life. Based on this program, we developed a new self-hypnosis program for chronic pain patients: HYlaDO (Hypnosis of pain in French, HYpnose de la DOuleur). To structure the process of adapting an existing program to a new context, we used the ORBIT model (Obesity-Related Behavioral Intervention Trials), which consists of four development phases. This study aimed to collect patients' opinions and recommendations, and to refine HYlaDO (ORBIT Phase Ib). Fifteen participants took part in individual semi-structured interviews about this program. Two analysts coded the verbatims, and a thematic categorization was performed. Six themes emerged: practice training, expected vs. perceived effects, chronic pain management, individual practice, satisfaction, and participants' recommendations. Improvements to be considered in this type of program were finally discussed.
