Devan H, Godfrey HK, Perry MA, et al. - Researchers examined the current practices of New Zealand (NZ) healthcare providers in recommending online resources for persistent pain management. In addition, they assessed factors that predict healthcare providers’ recommendations, and investigated common concerns. Via performing an online survey, they collected and analyzed data from 213 NZ healthcare providers involved in the management of persistent pain. Recommendation for online resources was reported to be valued by only half of the healthcare providers surveyed, suggesting limited confidence in recommending, or knowledge of, existing online resources for persistent pain management. Recommendations for online resources was positively influenced by specialist interest in treating pain, and level of confidence. Findings suggested the necessity for ongoing education for healthcare providers on evidence-based online resources to promote online resources as a self-management support tool for people with persistent pain.
