“…In this study, the score of avoidance was 27.39 ± 8.10, overdoing was 16.41 ± 11.09, and pacing was 24.25 ± 9.48. This result was consistent with another study 43 reporting that the score of overdoing was lower than those of the other two activity patterns. However, in patients with fibromyalgia, avoidance had the highest score, followed by overdoing, and pacing had the lowest score.…”

To explore the relationship between pain intensity, pain resilience, pain catastrophizing, and pain-related activity patterns in older adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). Patients and Methods: A total of 220 elderly Chinese with chronic musculoskeletal pain were recruited from a tertiary general hospital. Participants completed several measures including a demographic questionnaire, Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), Pain Resilience Scale (PRS), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), and Patterns of Activity Measure-Pain (POAM-P). Moreover, Process version 3.5 plug-in SPSS26 was used to test the mediation effect between variables. Results:The scores of POAM-P in older adults with CMP from high to low were: avoidance (27.39 ± 8.10), pacing (24.25 ± 9.48), and overdoing (16.65 ± 10.95). Mediation analysis revealed that pain resilience and pain catastrophizing mediated the relationship between pain intensity and pain-related activity patterns (avoidance and pacing) in older adults with CMP. Conclusion: These results provide evidence for the role of pain resilience and pain catastrophizing in the relationship between pain intensity and pain-related activity patterns. Interventions targeting these factors should be included in activity management programs for elderly CMP patients. It may be possible to reduce the negative impact of pain intensity on activity patterns by improving pain resilience and reducing pain catastrophizing.

“…According to previous research, we expect that coping strategies (e.g., guarding, resting, and asking for assistance) and pain beliefs (e.g., “hurt signifies physical injury”) that are avoidant and threat-related will be more present in patients that belong to the dysfunctional group. On the contrary, we anticipate that coping strategies like “persisting in a task” and beliefs such as “perceiving that one has control over pain,” which are more positively oriented towards the continuation of important life objectives, will be more frequent in the functional group [ 37 – 39 ].…”

Objectives. Research has pointed to two profiles of persons with fibromyalgia according to differences in functionality, thus distinguishing between functional and dysfunctional patients. The role of psychological factors underlying such clusters is unclear. This study aims to explore the contribution of pain beliefs and coping on fibromyalgia clustering. Methods. A cluster analysis was performed to classify 238 women with fibromyalgia using the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory as clustering variables. Cluster differences in physical functioning, depression, pain beliefs, coping, and age were then calculated (Student’s t-test). Finally, a binary logistic regression was conducted to study the unique contribution of age, beliefs, and coping on cluster classification. Results. Two clusters were revealed. Cluster 1 had a poor adaptation to fibromyalgia regarding physical functioning and depression. They generally embraced less adaptive beliefs (i.e., disability, harm, emotion, and requests) and coping strategies (i.e., guarding, resting, and asking for assistance). Cluster 2 showed a better adaptation to fibromyalgia and adopted more favorable beliefs (i.e., control) and coping strategies (i.e., exercise and task persistence). Cluster differences in age were significant but small. The backward binary logistic regression suggested a final model with six predictors (guarding, task persistence, harm, emotion, solicitude, and age) that explained 31% of the variance of group membership. Discussion. These results suggest that only a subset of psychological variables uniquely and independently contribute to functional/dysfunctional group membership. The results support the need to address psychological components in the management of fibromyalgia and point to a subset of preferred target beliefs and coping strategies.

Objectives: Chronic pain is a major health problem given its high prevalence and its multiple consequences on the physical and psychological functioning of patients. It is therefore important to determine the relationship between these consequences and pain management strategies such as activity pacing. This review aimed to examine the association between activity pacing and the level of negative emotions in chronic pain. A second objective was to explore sex differences in this association. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. Three independent reviewers used a combination of keywords within four databases to include studies examining the link between pacing and negative emotions in chronic pain. Results: Pacing was associated with less negative emotions when measured using multidimensional tools, distinguishing it from avoidance, and highlighting the major components of pacing, such as maintaining a constant activity or conserving energy. Data did not allow examination of sex differences. Discussion: Pacing is multidimensional and consists of various strategies of pain management which are not equally associated with negative emotions. It is important to use measures reflecting this conception to strengthen knowledges about the role of pacing in the development of negative emotions.
