Questions Within the Current Thesis Aim 1 : to provide an overview of the current state of literature regarding treatment characteristics and longitudinal outcomes of IMPT programmes. Chapter 2 • How does the physical, psychological and social wellbeing of patients with chronic pain who participated in IMPT programmes change over time? • To what extent do the included studies vary with respect to study design, patient and treatment characteristics? Chapter 3 • How can we transition a regular review into a living systematic review to increase the speed of dissemination and implementation of scientific findings into clinical practice? Aim 2 : to develop an intervention that facilitates the maintenance of treatment gains and insights over time. Chapter 4 • What are the immediate and long-term effects of generic self-management interventions for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain in terms of physical functioning, self-efficacy, pain intensity and physical activity? • Which programme characteristics, components, and behaviour change techniques are included in the self- management interventions? Chapter 5 • To what extent do co-design practices facilitate the translation of meaningful stakeholder experiences into the design of a health care intervention? • How can co-design contribute to stakeholder involvement, generation of relevant insights and ideas, and incorporation of stakeholder input into the intervention design? Chapter 6 • How do patients and health care providers evaluate the current workbook prototype in the context of IMPT programmes in terms of acceptability and applicability? Chapter 7 • How can we evaluate the effectiveness of the AGRIPPA mHealth intervention, determine its cost-effectiveness and acquire insight into its level of engagement and usability?
