Summary
This study tested a new online program that teaches mindfulness and coping skills to people recovering from surgery. The goal was to see if patients find it helpful and easy to use compared to a workshop led by a psychologist. 68 adults who had surgery and were referred to a pain service took part. The program is designed to be done on your own, anytime, using a smartphone or computer.
