“…27 In other studies of several racial and ethnic groups (including "Old American," French-Canadian, Irish, Italian, Hispanics, and Polish), Hispanic subjects reported the greatest interference from pain with work and activities of daily living. 3,4 The present study thus contributes to a variety of conflicting findings related to the racial and ethnic influences on the effect of chronic pain. Given the complex interactions between demography, culture, and other factors, additional studies are needed to clarify the degree to which the adverse effects of chronic pain can be explained by race and ethnicity or the mediating variables with which they associate.…”

“…Craig & Best, 1977;Crisson & Keefe, 1988;Roome & Humphrey, 1992;Toomey, Mann, Abashian, & Thompson Pope, 1991). In clinical situations a more internal LOC is associated with more positive clinical outcomes (Bates & Rankin Hill, 1994;Harkapaa et al, 1991;Reynaert et al, 1995), and in common with introversion and extroversion, LOC has been found to relate to analgesic usage in the control of acute (e.g. post-operative) pain (Reynaert et al, 1995;Roome & Humphrey, 1992).…”

AbstractThis study investigated the effects of differences in a pre-procedure briefing (providing or withholding preparatory information and explicit control) on the perception of the second of two identical acute pain stimuli. 61 healthy participants were allocated to one of three conditions:Baseline measures of Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) and pain rating using Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) were taken, as was a measure of general internal/external Locus of Control (LOC). Participants were read the briefing and subjected to a second pain stimulus of identical intensity to their baseline measures. Participants rated the second stimulus using the VASs, and compared it to the first using comparison scales.Results show that differences in a pre-procedure briefing significantly altered participants' perception of the pain stimulus. Participants in the I-NC group rated the second stimulus more painful than the first, and participants in the NI-NC group rated the second stimulus as less painful than the first. There is also suggestive evidence that these differences may relate to individual LOC style. We recommend encouragement of patient participation to engender at least the perception of control in clinical situations involving acutely painful procedures.

“…This suggests that emotional adjustment and coping are of significance in predicting outcome. The importance of this finding in a cross-cultural context is under- scored by findings that coping styles differ between cultural groups (Bates & Rankin-Hill, 1994;Nabors, Seacat & Rosenthal, 2002) and that these can impact on outcome following TBI (Snead & Davis, 2002). Given the influence of cultural value system and emotional reactions on outcome in the present study, it would appear that beliefs, attitudes and coping styles in the context of injury are important variables to examine further in future outcome studies.…”

T he aim of the study was to compare beliefs and experiences of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in patients with TBI from the dominant English-speaking culture in Australia versus those from minority culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds and examine the relative influence of beliefs, acculturation, along with demographic and injury-related variables on outcome. The primary measures included the Illness Perception Questionnaire-Revised (IPQ-R), and the Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique (CHART). Participants were 70 individuals with mild to severe TBI, including 38 of English-speaking background (ESB) and 32 from CALD backgrounds. Although similar to the ESB participants in education, preinjury employment status, injury severity and experience of TBI, the CALD participants differed significantly from ESB participants on acculturation variables. CALD participants also experienced greater negative emotions and were less likely to have internal locus of control causal beliefs than ESB participants. Regression analyses indicated that describing one's value system as other than Australian, poorer understanding of TBI and greater negative emotional reactions, along with fewer years of education were associated with poorer outcomes on the CHART. Thus, in treating patients from different cultural backgrounds it is important for health professionals to understand beliefs about and responses to TBI, as they could potentially impact on coping, emotional adjustment and long-term outcome.
