“…In empirical and prospective studies, the use of the Pain Self Perception Scale [79] has identified mental defeat as a significant predictor of various outcomes among patients with chronic pain. This includes pain interference, depression, psychological disability [80], and suicide risk or intent [82,83] within this population [84]. This aligns with established theories of suicide featuring defeat as a key cognitive factor driving suicidal thoughts and behaviour, such as the cry of pain model [85] and the schematic appraisal model [86].…”

The drive for a more person-centred approach in the broader field of clinical medicine is also gaining traction in chronic pain treatment. Despite current advances, a further departure from ‘business as usual’ is required to ensure that the care offered or received is not only effective but also considers personal values, goals, abilities, and day-to-day realities. Existing work typically focuses on explaining pain symptoms and the development of standardised interventions, at the risk of overlooking the broader consequences of pain in individuals’ lives and individual differences in pain responses. This review underscores the importance of considering additional factors, such as the influence of chronic pain on an individual’s sense of self. It explores innovative approaches to chronic pain management that have the potential to optimise effectiveness and offer person-centred care. Furthermore, it delves into research applying hybrid and individual formulations, along with self-monitoring technologies, to enhance pain assessment and the tailoring of management strategies. In conclusion, this review advocates for chronic pain management approaches that align with an individual’s priorities and realities while fostering their active involvement in self-monitoring and self-management.

“…Violence causes increased stress [78], which causes hypertension and heart palpitations that predispose to chronic chest pain [19]. Also, suicidal thoughts are influenced by stress [79], and their prevalence is in line with studies that showed a bidirectional relationship with chronic pain [37,38]. Feelings of shame and guilt, low self-esteem, family and social problems, low social support, and physical inactivity are less critical in the life quality category.…”

Violent situations are unfortunately very frequent in women and children all over the world. These experiences have long-term consequences for adult physical and psychological health. One of the most reported is chronic pain, defined in various sub-diagnoses and present in all types of violence. Unfortunately, the etiology of this condition is not clear and neither are the predisposing factors. The aim of this scoping review is to examine the literature trends about the probable risk factors of chronic pain in violence victims. Considering a bio-psycho-social model, it is possible to hypothesize the presence of all these aspects. The results will be discussed in the present article.
