Opportunity to participate in pain research

[MaureenMK]

If you are over 18 and experience chronic pain (pain lasting over 6 months), you are invited to take part in my research as part of my degree in psychology at the University of Derby. The study looks at the effects of journaling on pain and physical health.

This study has been approved by the University of Derby Ethics Committee.

Your participation will be completely voluntary and anonymous.

The study runs over one week and includes completing a short online questionnaire. This questionnaire will relate to your personal details (age and gender) any pain you have experienced, and your general wellbeing and health. This questionnaire will take around 20 minutes to complete.

After this, you will be asked to keep a short journal for 7 days. Each day will involve writing down 3-4 sentences of your thoughts and should take no longer than 5 minutes. You will not need to share your journal with us. This will be your own personal record. After 7 days we will invite you to complete the online questionnaire again which will take around 15 minutes.
