The primary objective of this application is to test the feasibility of a care model where clinic nurses play a vital role in promoting the adoption of web-based CBT in the ambulatory medical setting. Participants (n=60) in the primary care and rheumatology clinics will be randomized to one of 2 arms: (1) 6 regular telephone contacts, vs. (2) 6 computer generated email reminders (control arm) over an 8-week period. To enhance participants' motivation to engage in the web-based CBT, nurses will use motivational interviewing technique. The investigators will use outcome measures including the number of completed web-based learning modules, amount of time spent by the nurses on study-related and non-study related phone calls, health care use, and clinical variables. Our proposed line of research is significant because it will potentially make CBT, a significantly underutilized treatment modality, potentially more affordable and accessible. If nurse guided web-based CBT can be shown to be effective and implementable, Wake Baptist Health System can potentially leverage web-based CBT as one component in a multidisciplinary pain management program to prospective employers in North Carolina. Wake Baptist may also develop its own web-based CBT for commercial use.

Time frame: Up to Week 16
Questionnaire that measures subject pain intensity. The possible score range is 3-15, 3 being the best outcome and 15 being the worst outcome
Time frame: Up to Week 16
PROMIS pain interference is a questionnaire that measures interference of pain on subject's life. The possible raw score range is 6-30. The raw score has been converted into a T score. The T score range is from 41.6 to 75.6. A t-score indicates the number of standard deviations away from the mean. A t-score of 50 is equal to the mean of a reference population. Values below 50 indicate pain interference better than the reference population and values above 50 indicate pain interference worse than the reference population.
Time frame: Up to Week 16
The number of completed phone calls by the nurse will be recorded.
Time frame: Week 16
The number of completed learning modules per treatment arm will be recorded.
Time frame: Up to Week 16
This refers to the acceptability a subject has to pain self management. This would be determined by the number of subjects who answer "yes" to the question "Have you ever wondered if there is something that you could do on your own to better manage your pain?" divided by the number of patients who answered "yes" to the question "Over the last 6 months, do you have daily or almost daily pain that interfered with your general activity or enjoyment of life?"
Time frame: Up to Week 16
This refers to the acceptability a subject has to watching the educational video on web-based CBT. This would be determined by the number of patients who watched the video from Expectation Management and Medical Information (EMMI) divided by the number of patients who received the video from EMMI.
Time frame: Up to Week 16
This refers to the acceptability a subject has to participating in the study. This would be determined by the number of patients who made a phone call to the research team after watching the video divided by the number of patients who watched the video.
Time frame: Up to Week 16
This refers to whether health care personnel perceives a disruption in the clinic standard operating procedures
Time frame: Up to Week 16
This refers to the adoption or extent of participants' motivation to engage in the web-based CBT program. For the uptake rate, the number of times participants log in to web-based CBT will be recorded.
Time frame: Up to Week 16
This refers to the adoption or extent of participants' motivation to engage in the web-based CBT program. Self-report frequency of practicing pain coping skills will be measured by a question scale 0-5. Higher scores denote better outcomes.
Time frame: Up to Week 16
This refers to the adoption or extent of participants' motivation to engage in the web-based CBT program. Recorded in a question - scale 0-5. Higher scores denote better outcomes.
Time frame: Up to Week 16
This refers to the feasibility of the web-based CBT program. The number of minutes a nurse spends on study-related phone calls and the time a nurse spends during the initial and ongoing MI training will be recorded.
Time frame: Up to Week 16
This refers to the feasibility of the web-based CBT program. Nurses will rate perceived additional work load. Recorded using sing a scale 1-5, higher scores denotes worse outcomes.
Time frame: Up to Week 16
This refers to the feasibility of the web-based CBT program. This scale is used to assess treatment fidelity to the principles of MI.Scale range from 5 to 25, where a score of 25 represents 100% adherence to the principles of motivational interviewing (MI).
