I am Le Nguyen, a Master’s student in Health Psychology from University of Portsmouth. For my research project, I investigate the relationship between self-compassion and pain perceptions. Moreover, I want to explore how emotional distress regulates these relationships. I am looking for volunteers aged 18 or over and have chronic pain to answer a 10-minute online questionnaire. Here is the link to my study portsmouthpsych.eu.qualtric....
By participating in this project, you are helping to broaden the existing knowledge regarding these matters, which can contribute to more effective interventions in the future. Thank you for your time and if you would like further information, please contact me via UP809169@myport.ac.uk.

Hello, I am sorry about that. For some reasons half of the link was cut off after I posted it. I am looking into this at the moment and will let you know as soon as I can.
Thank you very much for your time. While waiting for the problem to be solve, would you mind sending me an email to UP809169@myport.ac.uk please? I will then be able to send you the link to the study.

Thank you for your support with the study. I am waiting for the issue to be looked into at the moment. Meanwhile, you could send me an email to UP809169@myport.ac.uk if you would like the link to the study :).
I really appreciate the information you have given me. However, I just want to let you know that the study mainly investigates the benefits of self-compassion by looking into its relationships with pain coping and pain catastrophizing (please note the term "pain catastrophizing" used in this study is to understand perceived helplessness, rumination and magnification of the pain without any intentions to downplay anyone's conditions). However, if you would like to share more about your experience with the study or with the condition in general, it would be a pleasure for me to hear from you. Please feel free to drop me an email and your experience may give me valuable insight for future research.
Ok thank you I will attend to that before morning thumbs are worn out from typing at moment. I would be interested in any available results for interest not important if not available I hope my information is useful for yourself.
Thank you for your support. I hope you can have a good rest.
Your information has been very helpful. It would be a pleasure for me to share the results with you. Although as I mentioned I would share the results with the organization and they will potentially be distributed amongst the members. Due to confidentiality and anonymity regulations, I cannot send results to every individual who have done the study. But please just confirm that you are aware of that and still happy for me to send the results to your email address once the study is completed (hopefully will be around September 2020).
Thank you for being so sweet and positive. I have been dealing with a lot of negativity lately as people don’t like certain aspects of the study and your support has given me more motivation to help others even by just a little bit.
What do people actually get for spending 10 mins or more helping your research?? Will they ever see any results or do you disappear once you have your material?
And Masters projects don't usually have a particularly broad readership.
Periodically students come onto this site and solicit help for projects only they benefit from.
Participation in this study is completely voluntary and as you have mentioned that this is a student's project, there is no funding and I cannot give any rewards. I hope 10 minute is not too much to ask from participants' time. However, it has been planned that I will share my results with any organisations that have helped me distribute the survey.
Doing this project is more to help contribute to research in chronic pain than to my own gain. The study may not be as significant as coming up with a new intervention for chronic pain. However, it is looking into self-compassion, which has not been mentioned in many research. This can be beneficial not only for people with chronic pain but also for those whose love ones have chronic pain. Besides psychological interventions available, simply being kind, less judgmental and taking things easy can be a good way to maintain the effectiveness of these interventions. The rationale behind the study is more than just that, but that is the overall idea of the study and I am hoping to find some positive results.
You'll share your research with organisations, but not the voluntary participants.
So how exactly do participants benefit?
Kindness etc are qualitative variables, and you seem to have predetermined the outcome. Perhaps your belief in its contribution to wider research, is being rather too kind.
Good luck with your research project. I don't have chronic pain so there is no need for me to answer a 10-minute online questionnaire. I had to write a research paper on a similar topic. An expert from studenterra.com/ helped me a lot with it! There was no risk at all for me because they promised to refund all my money.
