Article Synopsis
  • - The study adapted Bandura's self-efficacy framework to create a non-drug intervention using auricular point acupressure (APA) to help participants manage their pain, due to limited existing literature on theory-driven approaches in pain studies.
  • - A qualitative approach was taken, interviewing 23 participants at one and three months after a 4-week APA intervention, revealing their experiences in pain management linked to Bandura's self-efficacy sources.
  • - Thematic analysis identified four main themes: improved self-management and pain outcomes, technology feasibility, and sustainability of APA, indicating that this theory-driven intervention significantly benefited participants and offered suggestions for future enhancements.

Firstly, specialize literature has been analyzed to establish the nature of virtual reality.
