“…Pain catastrophizing denotes exaggerated and ruminating negative thoughts and emotions that occur during actual or perceived pain stimulation (Trudeau et al, 2015). Avoidance of pain catastrophizing is important for effective self-management; however, adults with SCD have reported rates of catastrophizing that were higher than those of individuals with other chronic pain conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (Citero Vde et al, 2007; Leung, 2012; Oguhebe et al, 2014). Chronic pain self-efficacy, an individual’s perceived ability to cope with the consequences of chronic pain, has been associated with better coping, levels of functioning, and responses to treatment (Anderson et al, 1995).…”

Among 170 adults with sickle cell disease, we evaluated chronic pain impact and disability prevalence, assessed age and gender differences, and identified psychosocial predictors of chronic pain intensity and disability. Most participants had a high level of disability. Chronic pain intensity and disability were significantly associated with pain catastrophizing and chronic pain self-efficacy, and worsened with age. Further research is needed to confirm study findings and develop interventions, including palliative care approaches that address catastrophizing and disability, particularly for young women and middle-aged adults with sickle cell disease. Moreover, consistent clinical assessment of chronic pain and psychosocial health should be implemented.
