“…A lower probability of recovery after 3 months was found for patients who scored highest on the (passive) pain coping strategy "worrying" (e.g., "I think that the pain will get worse"). This finding is in agreement with previous studies, which found that passive coping strategies predict a poor outcome (44)(45)(46). Furthermore, a study among patients with rheumatoid arthritis found passive coping strategies to correlate with depression and higher levels of pain, which may indicate that both passive processes (coping) and negative processes (depression) may result in higher levels of pain (47).…”

“…Those with both disorders were more likely to report a history of physical/ sexual abuse, have a chronic medical condition, be older, have higher ratings of psychiatric distress and addiction severity, report more stressful life events, and have lower ratings of PA, social support, and confidence to cope with mental illness compared with persons with neither disorder. In prior studies, PTSD and chronic pain separately have shown associations with many of the factors found in the current study: physical/sexual abuse [26,41], chronic physical health problems [32,42], psychiatric or emotional distress [43][44], drug/alcohol use [45][46], ongoing stressful or traumatic life events [26,47], and lower social support [48][49]. In previous studies, chronic pain was associated with increased age [32] and lower PA [50]; therefore, that persons with both disorders in the current study demonstrated these characteristics is logical.…”

Abstract-This cross-sectional study reports the prevalence and correlates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and chronic severe pain in psychiatric outpatients (n = 295), a sample that has not previously been examined for the co-occurrence of these two disorders. Nearly half the participants (46%) met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fourth Edition criteria for PTSD; 40% reported chronic severe pain; and 24% had both disorders. We compared four groups of subjects who had either both disorders, PTSD only, chronic severe pain only, or neither disorder for variables previously found to be associated with both disorders or either disorder alone (e.g., psychiatric distress, substance use, stressful life events, physical/sexual abuse). Multiple pairwise comparisons indicated that persons with both disorders were significantly different from persons with neither disorder for all dependent variables and that they had greater physical and psychosocial stressors. Persons with either PTSD or chronic severe pain alone were more likely to have a chronic medical condition, higher ratings of psychiatric distress, and more stressful life events than persons with neither disorder. Mental health treatment providers should be aware of the potential for the co-occurrence of PTSD and chronic severe pain and of the many related factors in psychiatric outpatients.

“…In their study, higher levels of social support predicted lower levels of functional disability and pain at three-and five-year follow-ups (Evers et al, 2003). Recent research in the context of couples experiencing chronic pain furthermore suggests that social support might be most helpful when the support is provided for volitional motives (e.g., providing help out of enjoyment) than for controlled or pressured motives (e.g., providing help to avoid guilt or criticism) (Kindt et al, 2015;.…”

. Electronic mail may be sent to Liesbet.Goubert@UGent.be. Conflicts of interestThe authors declare to have no conflicts of interest. 2 Statement of "significance":What does this review add? The resilience approach put forward in this review spotlights sustainability of positive outcomes (e.g. engagement in meaningful activities) in the presence of pain as an outcome to pursue beyond recovery of negative outcomes. We illuminate the evidence-base and practical application of promising resilience mechanisms (positive emotions, psychological flexibility, needs satisfaction).3 Abstract Background and Objective: The primary objective of this paper is to discuss how a resilience approach to (chronic) pain may advance our current understanding of (mal)adaptation to pain. Different resilience perspectives are described, and future challenges for research, prevention and treatment of (chronic) pain are discussed. Databases and Data Treatment:Literature searches were performed in Web of Science and PubMed to identify relevant literature on risk and resilience in the context of pain. Results:Resilience can be best defined as the ability to restore and sustain living a fulfilling life in the presence of pain. The Psychological Flexibility Model, the Broaden-and-Build Theory, and Self-Determination Theory are described as theories that may provide insight into resilience within the context of (chronic) pain. Conclusions:We describe how a resilience paradigm shifts the outcomes to pursue in pain research and intervention and argue the need for including positive outcomes in addition to negative outcomes. Psychological flexibility, positive affect and basic psychological needs satisfaction are described as potentially important resilience mechanisms with the potential to target both sustainability and recovery from pain. A resilience approach to chronic pain may have important implications for the prevention and treatment of chronic pain problems, as it may give specific indications on how to empower patients to continue living a fulfilling life (in the presence of pain).4
