Sponsor's own description
A pre-post, single-group, quasi-experimental design will be used to determine the acceptability, feasibility, and appropriateness of a theory-based, 8-week/16-session virtual Tai Chi Easy (vTCE) intervention for adults with OUD, anxiety, and chronic pain. This dissertation has three Aims: 1) Determine the feasibility of an 8-week/16-session, vTCE intervention for adults with OUD, CP, and anxiety; 2) Determine the perceptions of the vTCE intervention participants by conducting a focus group interview post-vTCE; 3) Explore within-subject changes in generalized anxiety, chronic pain intensity, opioid use, opioid cravings, and basic psychological needs post-vTCE.
