Perceptions of patients and health care professionals on postoperative pain management: Key factors influencing persistent opioid use.
Article in British journal of health psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study applied the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) to explore the barriers and enablers to optimizing post-operative pain management and supporting safe opioid use from the perspectives of both patients and health care professionals, applying the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF).
designExperience-based co-design (EBCD) qualitative study.
methodsIn the initial phase of the EBCD approach, focus groups were conducted comprising 20 participants, including 8 patients and 12 health care professionals involved in post-operative care. The data were systematically analysed using framework analysis and mapped to the TDF. Intervention functions and behaviour change techniques (BCTs) targeting each TDF domain were identified.
resultsAnalysis revealed significant barriers faced by patients, including a lack of continuity in care, inadequate preoperative preparation, and insufficient guidance on opioid tapering. Health care professionals reported barriers associated with deficiencies in knowledge, skills, and environmental resources, particularly workforce constraints and ineffective communication across care settings. Notable enablers included pharmacist-led medication reviews and the adoption of digital technologies to enhance education and support tapering.
conclusionsThis study identifies critical barriers and facilitators that influence postoperative pain management and opioid use. Targeted interventions are imperative to optimize these outcomes. Key recommendations include implementing pharmacist-led medication reviews, integrating digital tapering support tools and enhancing preoperative educational efforts. Furthermore, strengthening communication pathways and addressing workforce challenges through dedicated training and resource allocation are essential. Future research should assess the efficacy of these tailored interventions across diverse clinical contexts to improve patient outcomes and refine prescribing practices.
