Abstract

Aims: To understand the experiences of patients diagnosed with chronic facial pain (CFP) who attended a specialist facial pain management program (PMP); specifically, to explore how they experienced attending the facial PMP itself and how they felt it impacted their management of CFP.

Methods: Qualitative methodology and focus groups were used to gather patients' views and experiences of attending a facial PMP. Two focus groups were conducted for patients who had all completed the facial PMP. Discussions were recorded and transcribed. Data were then analyzed using thematic analysis to establish key themes relating to participants' experiences of the facial PMP.

Results: Thematic analysis identified three main themes, with numerous subthemes within them. The theme "psychologic change" had subthemes of self-compassion, acceptance, and reflection. The theme "behavioral change" contained subthemes of re-engagement with valued activity, medication, and communication. The theme "structure and process" contained subthemes of concentration, need for one-on-one time with the clinician, meeting others, and not enough time (clinical and nonclinical).

Conclusion: Facial PMPs may provide a valuable treatment to support long-term coping and adaptation for patients with CFP. Positive changes to coping include both psychologic and behavioral elements. Further research is necessary to clarify how group-based facial PMPs should be structured and delivered.

参加面部疼痛管理项目的经验和结果:一项定性研究。

目的:了解慢性面部疼痛(CFP)患者参加专科面部疼痛管理课程(PMP)的经历;具体来说，探索他们参加面部PMP本身的经历，以及他们认为它如何影响他们对CFP的管理。方法:采用定性方法和焦点小组法收集患者参加面部PMP的意见和经验。对所有完成面部PMP的患者进行了两个焦点组。讨论被记录下来。然后使用主题分析来分析数据，以建立与参与者面部PMP体验相关的关键主题。结果:主题分析确定了三个主要主题，其中包含许多次要主题。“心理变化”的主题有自我同情、接受和反思的子主题。“行为改变”的主题包含了重新参与有价值的活动、药物治疗和交流的子主题。“结构和过程”这一主题包含以下几个子主题:集中注意力、与临床医生一对一的时间需求、与他人会面以及时间不够(临床和非临床)。结论:面部pmp可能为支持CFP患者的长期应对和适应提供有价值的治疗方法。积极的应对变化包括心理和行为因素。进一步的研究是必要的，以澄清如何以群体为基础的面部PMPs应该结构和交付。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
