Summary
Chronic low back pain is a major health concern among older adults and is associated with increased economic, functional, and psychological burden. Resilience has been highlighted as a crucial factor in positive health-related functioning, and a growing body of literature supports the use of resilience-based interventions in chronic pain. Therefore, the goals of this project are to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a resilience intervention for chronic low back pain among older adults.
