Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: For all participants in the two experimental groups, 3 introductory sessions will be held to teach pain management approaches as well as how to perform the exercises over a period of approximately three months. In this study, 3 training sessions will be held in 2 weeks, which will be conducted by the researcher. The schedule is the same for all three treatment groups. The first session will be a group session (duration 30 minutes to an hour) with a maximum of 6 participants in each group, led by a researcher using a PowerPoint presentation. Participants will then be asked to read an instruction booklet containing the same information at home. The second session is home-based online e-learning, which includes 3 explanatory videos. These videos explain the same PowerPoint that was shown during the first session along with its screening. Therefore, in the second session, which is held online, the same issue discussed in the first group session will be explained again. After each clip, participants are asked to complete a questionnaire that will assess their understanding and opinion of the film. The third session will include a 30-minute one-on-one conversation focusing on patients' personal needs: The questions in the second session questionnaire will be analyzed. And how to use this information in the patient's daily life is discussed
