Low theoretical fidelity hinders the research on health coaching for opioid reduction: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To systematically review the literature in order to evaluate the effects of health coaching on patients' reduction of opioid usage and opioid discontinuation. In addition, this systematic review investigated the effects of health coaching on pain intensity, physical function, and quality of life.

We considered trials if they included any of the four defined key constructs of health coaching adopted in this review: motivational interviewing, positive psychology, the transtheoretical model, and self-determinatio
