The program includes <a href=\"https:\/\/ostrowon.usc.edu\/2020\/07\/21\/pain-education-may-help-chronic-back-pain\/\">health and lifestyle information<\/a> that is given to adults in the workplace. The program was put to the test to see whether or not it would help people in the workplace, and the results were shared in the March 2021 issue of the journal <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33650771\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Musculoskeletal Care<\/i><\/a> [1].<\/p>\n<p>There were 20 organizations that took part in the study, with nearly 500 participants who received the JPA program information. To provide the information, there is one advisor who is trained from each company, and that person assesses the pain, their <a href=\"https:\/\/ostrowon.usc.edu\/2021\/05\/10\/causes-of-multiple-sclerosis\/\">musculoskeletal health<\/a> and function, and receives information about how many days per week the person was <a href=\"https:\/\/ostrowon.usc.edu\/2020\/06\/11\/managing-chronic-pain-with-a-physical-activity-program\/\">physically active<\/a> for at least 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The JPA program provides participants with <a href=\"https:\/\/ostrowon.usc.edu\/2020\/05\/28\/noninvasive-non-pharmacological-treatments-for-chronic-pain\/\">strategies<\/a> they can use to help lessen their chronic joint pain in the workplace. They are given information about living a healthier lifestyle, <a href=\"https:\/\/ostrowon.usc.edu\/2020\/08\/25\/emotional-approach-coping\/\">how to cope with pain<\/a>, how to set goals, and more. Over the course of the six-month program, they are reviewed three times, and during that meeting, the health messages are reinforced.<\/p>\n<h2>Program Results<\/h2>\n<p>The results of the study showed that when people were given this information in the workplace and followed it, there was significant improvement. Those who participated in it report that they were highly satisfied with the program, <a href=\"https:\/\/ostrowon.usc.edu\/2021\/03\/29\/walking-vs-yoga\/\">activity<\/a> levels among participants improved, and employee absenteeism was reduced.<\/p>\n<p>Considering employee absenteeism was reduced among employees, it may be a good idea for more organizations to consider implementing the JPA program. Not only did it help employees <a href=\"https:\/\/ostrowon.usc.edu\/2020\/11\/18\/acupuncture-for-osteoarthritis-pain\/\">reduce their chronic pain<\/a>, but that will lead to improving overall life satisfaction, and make for happier and more productive people in the workplace. Some think that that addressing chronic joint pain while in a workplace could mean their job. This program can be used in all sizes of businesses and can be administered by a health or non-health professional.<\/p>\n<h2>USC\u2019s Online, Competency-Based Pain Medicine Degree Programs<\/h2>\n<p>USC\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/pain-medicine\/\">online degree program<\/a>\u00a0is suitable for health professionals from a wide variety of fields to increase their knowledge in pain medicine.
