Feasibility, Acceptability and Modification of a Post-surgical Telehealth Mindfulness-Based Intervention to Enhance Recovery After Lumbar Spine Surgery: A Prospective Intervention Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

People who undergo lumbar spine surgery experience variable pain, disability, and quality of life outcomes. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are recommended for chronic low back pain and may be an effective approach for surgical patients.

Objectives

Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a telehealth MBI following lumbar spine surgery and refine the intervention for optimal delivery.

Methods

This was a prospective, mixed-methods, single-arm cohort study with measurements preoperatively and 2 weeks and 3 months postoperatively. Participants were adults undergoing lumbar spine surgery for a degenerative condition at an academic medical center. A telehealth MBI was delivered one-on-one within 4 weeks after surgery and consisted of 8 weekly session
