Abstract

PURPOSE: Tailored self-management support is recommended as first-line treatment for neck and low back pain, for which mHealth applications could be promising. However, there is limited knowledge about factors influencing the engagement with such apps. The aim of this study was to assess barriers and facilitators for engaging with a self-management mHealth app among adults suffering from neck and/or low back pain.
