Resum
Chronic pain is a health problem that affects between 10 and 30 % of the population. The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a group intervention program for chronic pain. A quasi-experimental study was carried out. The sample consists of 105 participants of the Pain Unit of the Hospital General Universitario de Alicante. A battery of questionnaires pre and post was administered to the application of the program. The study measured the level of pain, quality of life, anxiety, depression, sleep attributes and self-efficacy. Significant improvements in levels of anxiety, depression, physical quality of life, self-efficacy in all dimensions (symptom control, physical functioning and pain control) and aspects of sleep attributes such as sleep disturbances were obtained. The program protocolized and carried out by trained professionals is effective to decrease the perception of pain, to increase the quality of life in its physical component, to improve the self-efficacy and the attributes of the dream with chronic pain patients.
