Based on a mixed-methods design, the objective of this trial is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the "Agir pour moi" program, an 8-week online self-management program for chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP). The investigators will also explore its potential effects on self-efficacy, pain interference, pain severity, anxiety, depression, catastrophizing, and global impression of change in adults with CNCP awaiting services from a chronic pain multidisciplinary treatment center.
The mixed-methods sequential explanatory design combines a quantitative questionnaire-based study with a subsequent in depth qualitative approach.

| Pain self-management program | Behavioral | Each week for eight weeks, participants are invited to complete self-directed lessons on particular themes. The program covers goal setting, stress management through relaxation, breathing and mindfulness, pacing, physical activity, thoughts and emotions, sleep, nutrition, flare-up management, and planning. Through pain education, positive testimonials from individuals with CNCP applying the suggested strategies, reflective activities, goal setting and monitoring, and the gradual development of a personal plan, the program supports self-efficacy building to manage CNCP. |

| Acceptability | The Acceptability E-scale includes 6 items regarding how easy and enjoyable the program was to use, how understandable were the lessons, how helpful was completing the program, whether the participant liked the program, whether the amount of time to complete the program was acceptable, and overall satisfaction with the program. Scores can range from 6 to 30. Higher scores reprensent a high level of acceptability. | Post-intervention (8 Weeks) |

| Change in self-efficacy: French version of the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) | The PSEQ is a ten item questionnaire which assesses an individual's confidence in their ability to perform a variety of activities or tasks despite pain. Scores can range from 0 to 60. Higher scores represent lower confidence to function with pain. | Baseline; Post-intervention (8 weeks); 3 months post-intervention |

| Adherence to the program | Completion rate of the program (completion is following ≥ 75% of the lessons) | Post-intervention (8 weeks) |
| Change in pain severity and pain interference: French version of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) | The BPI includes a pain severity subscale and a pain interference subscale. The pain interference subscale measures the extent to which pain interferes with functions such as general activity, walking ability, normal work, mood, relationships with people, enjoyment of life and sleep. For each scale, the total score is the average of all items. Scores can range from 0 to 10 for each subscale. Higher scores indicate greater severity and more interference. | Baseline; Post-intervention (8 weeks); 3 months post-intervention |
| Change in anxiety and depression: French version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) | The HADS is a 14-item scale. Seven items relate to anxiety and seven relate to depression. The anxiety and depression subscales each range from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating higher anxiety/depression complains. Patients were defined as having anxiety or depression or both if the score was 8 or more in the corresponding subscale. | Baseline; Post-intervention (8 weeks); 3 months post-intervention |
| Change in pain catastrophizing: French version of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) | The PCS is a 13-item questionnaire designed to assess catastrophic thinking in relation to pain. It yields a total score and three subscale scores assessing rumination, magnification and helplessness. Scores can range from 0 to 52. Higher scores represent higher pain catastrophizing. | Baseline; Post-intervention (8 weeks); 3 months post-intervention |
| Patient Global Impression of Change Scale (PGIC) | The PGIC measures a patient's rating of overall improvement or lack thereof due to the intervention. It is a 7 point scale depicting a patient's rating of overall improvement. Patients rate their change as "very much improved," "much improved," "minimally improved," "no change," "minimally worse," "much worse," or "very much worse." | Post-intervention (8 weeks); 3 months post-intervention |
