“…As noted by Rippentrop (2005), research on the role of religion and religiousness/spirituality on chronic pain can be classified as falling into four categories: (1) surveys documenting the frequency of spiritual/religious variables (e.g., religious/ spiritual coping vs. non-religious/spiritual coping) in individuals with chronic pain, regardless of their religion (i.e., religious affiliation; Barry et al 2004;Dunn and Horgas 2004;Glover-Graf et al 2007;Pizutti et al 2012); (2) cross-sectional studies assessing the association between measures of religion/spirituality, religious coping (vs. non-religious coping), psychosocial factors, and measures of adjustment to pain, regardless of the research participants' religion (Andersson 2008;Ashby and Lenhart 1994;Büssing et al 2009;Hefti and Laun 2016;Rippentrop et al 2005);…”

Does Religiosity/Spirituality Play a Role in Function, Pain-Related Beliefs, and Coping in Patients with Chronic Pain? A Systematic Review

et al. 2019

This systematic review examined the extent to which measures of religiosity/spirituality (R/S): (1) are associated with pain, function, pain-related beliefs (beliefs), coping responses, and catastrophizing in people with chronic pain; and (2) moderate the association between beliefs, coping and catastrophizing, and pain and function. Experimental and observational studies examining at least one of these research questions in adults with chronic pain were eligible. Two reviewers independently performed eligibility screening, data extraction, and quality assessment. Twenty studies were included. Most studies focused on the association between R/S and pain or function. When significant associations emerged, those between R/S and psychological function were weak to strong and positive; those between religious/ spiritual well-being and pain and physical dysfunction were negative, but weak. Few studies examined the associations between R/S and beliefs/coping/catastrophizing; none examined the moderation role of R/S. The findings suggest that R/S is associated with pain and psychological function in people with chronic pain, and that viewing oneself as being "spiritual," regardless of religion, may contribute to positive psychological adjustment. More research is needed to determine the reliability of this finding. PROSPERO registry CRD42018088803.

“…For permissions, please e-mail: journals.permissions@oup.com Although research in this area remains limited, preliminary findings suggest that spirituality and spiritual beliefs may frame the meaning attributed to pain in individuals with chronic pain, depending on how the pain has been integrated in the sense of self [24]. These findings indicate that spirituality and spiritually meaningful practices 1) can act pain coping responses [25][26][27][28][29][30] and 2) are positively and weakly to moderately associated with a) pain tolerance [14], b) better physical and psychological function [13,[31][32][33][34][35][36], and c) the use of the so-called "active" or "adaptive" pain coping responses [28,37]. However, perhaps given the lack of a consensus on how spirituality is defined and assessed, significant positive effects of spirituality on health outcomes and well-being are not always found [13,[38][39][40].…”

The Role of Spirituality in Pain, Function, and Coping in Individuals with Chronic Pain

et al. 2019

Objective Chronic pain is a multidimensional experience associated with psychosocial (e.g., pain-related beliefs and pain coping responses) and spiritual factors. Spirituality is a universal aspect of the human experience that has been hypothesized to impact pain experience via its effects on pain, physical/psychological function, resilience and pain-related beliefs, and pain coping responses. However, research evaluating the associations between measures of spirituality and measures of pain and function in individuals with chronic pain is limited. This study seeks to address this limitation. Methods Participants were 62 Portuguese adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Participants completed measures of spirituality, pain intensity, physical and psychological function, and pain coping responses. Results Spirituality as hope and a positive perspective toward life was positively and moderately associated with better psychological function and coping responses of ignoring pain sensations and coping self-statements. Spirituality as a search for meaning and sense of purpose was positively and moderately associated with the coping response of task persistence. Conclusions These findings suggest the possibility that spirituality may be a useful resource for facilitating psychological adjustment, potentially promoting the use of some adaptive pain coping responses.

“…Continuing with the topic of coping, investigators from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, reported their experience with a case-controlled assessment of religious spiritual coping in FMS (17). Fortytwo adult females with FMS recruited from a rheumatology clinic were compared in a cross-sectional casecontrol design with 90 pain-free females recruited from a gynecology clinic of the same institution.…”
