This study is for adults aged 18 and older who are having total knee or hip replacement surgery. It's testing two different brief, text-message-delivered mindfulness interventions to help manage pain, pain unpleasantness (how bothersome the pain is), and anxiety after surgery. Two days after your surgery, you'll receive a 5-minute guided mindful breathing practice. Then, you'll be randomly assigned to receive either "Mindfulness + Meaning Making Questions" or "Mindfulness + Implementation Questions." The study wants to see if the "Meaning Making Questions" improve the effects of mindfulness on your pain and anxiety. The main goal is to measure changes in how unpleasant your pain feels immediately before and after the 5-minute audio recording. We don't know the current recruitment status.
