Summary

The proposed study aims to evaluate a pilot emergency department (ED) digital pain self-management intervention (EDPSI) focused on improving self-efficacy, knowledge, and skills, thus reducing the transition from acute to chronic low back pain in ED patients discharged with axial acute low back pain (aLBP). The proposed research has significant potential to improve self-efficacy (the confidence in one's ability to manage their condition) which is one of the most potent factors for improved health outcomes.
