“…In another study of people with pancreatic cancers, PRISM was used to measure perceived social support [ 50 ]. The authors reported a significant, though modest, correlation between social support measured by PRISM and that derived from a previously validated instrument.…”

BackgroundPRISM (the Pictorial Representation of Illness and Self Measure) is a novel, simple visual instrument. Its utility was initially discovered serendipitously, but has been validated as a quantitative measure of suffering. Recently, new applications for different purposes, even in non-health settings, have encouraged further exploration of how PRISM works, and how it might be applied. This review will summarise the results to date from applications of PRISM and propose a generic conceptualisation of how PRISM works which is consistent with all these applications.MethodsA systematic review, in the form of a qualitative evidence synthesis, was carried out of all available published data on PRISM.ResultsFifty-two publications were identified, with a total of 8254 participants. Facilitated by simple instructions, PRISM has been used with patient groups in a variety of settings and cultures. As a measure of suffering, PRISM has, with few exceptions, behaved as expected according to Eric Cassell’s seminal conceptualisation of suffering. PRISM has also been used to assess beliefs about or attitudes to stressful working conditions, interpersonal relations, alcohol consumption, and suicide, amongst others.DiscussionThis review supports PRISM behaving as a visual metaphor of the relationship of objects (eg ‘my illness’) to a subject (eg ‘myself’) in a defined context (eg ‘my life at the moment’). As a visual metaphor, it is quick to complete and yields personally salient information. PRISM is likely to have wide applications in assessing beliefs, attitudes, and decision-making, because of its properties, and because it yields both quantitative and qualitative data. In medicine, it can serve as a generic patient-reported outcome measure. It can serve as a tool for representational guidance, can be applied to developing strategies visually, and is likely to have applications in coaching, psychological assessment and therapeutic interventions.

“…Friends, family members, colleagues, and even total strangers can all provide support without sharing the same emotional state. Numerous findings attest to the positive impact of such social support on the experience of physical pain (e.g., Kulik & Mahler, ; Stefaniak et al, ). For example, Brown, Sheffield, Leary, and Robinson () found that participants who were subjected to a cold pressor task (a mild pain induction) reported less pain sensation when receiving support from another person compared with participants who did not receive support.…”

Pain reduces discrimination in helping

Because of their shared neurobiological underpinnings, factors increasing physical pain can also increase feelings of social disconnection ("social pain"). Feelings of connection with a social group are reflected in the term social identification, and social identity is commonly associated with intergroup discrimination. In two experiments, we examined the notion that physical pain would reduce social identification and subsequently inhibit intergroup discrimination in helping. By using a pain memory manipulation and a support measure of helping in Study 1 (N = 173), and an actual pain manipulation combined with a behavioural measure of helping in Study 2 (N = 72), results from both studies confirmed the predictions. As expected, physical pain eliminated ingroup favouritism in helping, and identification mediated this effect in the ingroup condition but not in the outgroup condition. We discuss these findings in light of the apparently paradoxical relationship between social support and pain.

“…102 Lack of social support has been clearly associated with poor pain outcomes in other populations. [103][104][105] Possible strategies to facilitate social connections include counseling, social support groups, and palliative care consultation. 59 Interventions aimed at decreasing loneliness may simultaneously reduce pain.…”

Background: Pain is a significant problem in adults living with advanced liver disease, having limited guidance available for its clinical management. While pain is considered a multidimensional experience, there have been limited reviews of the pain literature in advanced liver disease conducted with a multidimensional framework. Aims: The goal of this scoping review was to identify and map the multidimensional domains of pain in adults with advanced liver disease using the biopsychosocial model. Methods: We used Arksey and O'Malley's scoping framework. A search was conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, AMED, and CINAHL databases and the gray literature using specific eligibility criteria (1990-2019). Citation selection and data extraction were performed by two independent reviewers and in duplicate. Results: Of the 43 studies that met inclusion criteria, 51% were from North America and 93% utilized quantitative methods. The combined studies reported on 168,110 participants with ages ranging between 23 to 87 years. Only 9% reported an objective scoring system for liver disease severity. Few studies reported pain classification (9%) and intensity (16%). Pain prevalence ranged between 18% and 100%, with pain locations including joint, abdomen, back, head/neck, and upper/ lower extremities. We identified and mapped 115 pain factors to the biopsychosocial model: physical (81%), psychological (65%), and sociocultural (5%). Only 9% measured pain using validated multidimensional tools. Pharmacological intervention (92%) prevailed among pain treatments. Conclusions: Pain is not well understood in patients with advanced liver disease, having limited multidimensional pain assessment and treatment approaches. There is a need to systematically examine the multidimensional nature of pain in this population. RÉSUMÉ Contexte: Bien que la douleur soit un problème important chez les adultes atteints d'une maladie hépatique avancée, les orientations disponibles pour sa prise en charge clinique sont limitées. Alors que la douleur est considérée comme une expérience multidimensionnelle, peu de revues de la littérature sur la douleur dans les maladies hépatiques avancées ont été menées à l'aide d'un cadre multidimensionnel. Objectifs: L'objectif de cette revue exploratoire était de déterminer et de cartographier les aspects multidimensionnels de la douleur chez les adultes atteints d'une maladie hépatique avancée en utilisant le modèle biopsychosocial. Méthodes: Nous avons utilisé le cadre d'Arksey et O'Malley. Une recherche a été effectuée dans les bases de données MEDLINE, Embase, AMED et CINAHL et dans la littérature grise, en utilisant des critères d'admissibilité précis (1990-2019). La sélection des citations et l'extraction des données ont été effectuées en double par deux examinateurs indépendants. Résultats: Sur les 43 études répondant aux critères d'inclusion, 51 % provenaient d'Amérique du Nord et 93 % avaient utilisé des méthodes quantitatives. Les études combinées ont porté sur 168 110 participants dont l'âge variait entre 23 et...
