“…To assess the acceptance of pain and coping, we employed: 1) a 20-item chronic pain acceptance questionnaire (CPAQ-R) 39 which showed satisfactory statistics of internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha >0.80); 40 and 2) a 27-item measure of strategies for coping with pain (CSQ-R) 41 which showed excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha >0.90) and good intraclass correlation coefficients (>0.80). 41 We also tested the degree of mood disturbance using the Beck Depression Inventory 42 which showed excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha >0.89). 43 Statistical analyses…”

Background: Pain is a marker of bodily status, that despite being aversive under most conditions, may also be perceived as a positive experience. However, how bodily states represent, define, and interpret pain signals, and how these processes might be reflected in common language, remains unclear. Methods: Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to explore the relationship between bodily awareness, pain reactions, and descriptions. A list of pain-related terms was generated from open-ended interviews with persons with spinal cord injury (SCI), and 138 participants (persons with SCI, health professionals, and a healthy control group) rated each descriptor as representative of pain on a gradated scale. A lexical decision task was used to test the strength of the automatic association of the word "pain" with positive and negative concepts. The behavioral results were related to body awareness, experience of pain, and exposure to pain, by comparing the three groups. Results: Higher positive and lower negative pain descriptors, as well as slower response times when categorizing pain as an unpleasant experience were found in the SCI group. The effect was not modulated by either the time since the injury or the present pain intensity, but it was linked to the level of subjective bodily awareness. Compared with the SCI group, health experts and non-experts both associated more quickly the word "pain" and unpleasant in the lexical decision task. However, while health professionals attributed positive linguistic qualities to pain, pain was exclusively associated with negative descriptors in healthy controls group. Conclusions: These findings are discussed in terms of their theoretical and clinical implications. An awareness of bodily signals prominently affects both the sensory and linguistic responses in persons with SCI. Pain should be evaluated more broadly to understand and, by extension, to manage, experiences beyond its adverse side.

“…Praying and hoping strategy is considered as a passive and maladaptive coping strategy, which is negatively associated with the level of activity (53). Similarly, in this review, one study (44) found that praying and hoping was positively associated with the pain intensity, physical, and psychological disability.…”

“…Therefore, people suffering from severe pain may have a tendency toward praying and hoping to deal with the negative interpretation of pain. Additionally, seeking social support and relaxation are considered as an adaptive coping strategies (53). However, it has been concluded that these strategies are multidimensional and that there is a lack of evidence for arguing whether they are adaptive or maladaptive.…”

Are Pain Beliefs, Cognitions, and Behaviors Influenced by Race, Ethnicity, and Culture in Patients with Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain: A Systematic Review

et al. 2018

Background: Chronic pain has been considered as a biopsychosocial condition in which cognitive and emotional factors as well as biological factors significantly affect perception of pain. Race, ethnicity and culture have a crucial impact on illness beliefs, health care preferences, help-seeking behaviors, and acceptance of medical interventions. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to systematically review the current evidence regarding the racial, ethnic and cultural alterations and differences in pain beliefs, cognitions, and behaviors in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain (MSKP). Study Design: Systematic review. Methods: This systematic review was conducted and reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines (PRISMA). PubMed and Web of Science were searched. A first screening was conducted based on title and abstract of the articles. In the second screening, full-texts of the remaining articles were evaluated for the fulfilment of the inclusion criteria. The risk of bias was assessed with the modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Results: A total of 11 articles were included. The methodological quality of the included studies ranged from low to moderate. There is moderate evidence that African-Americans use more praying, hoping, and emotion-focused coping strategies than Caucasians. There is also preliminary evidence regarding the differences in some coping strategies such as distraction, catastrophizing, and problem-focused solving between African-Americans and Caucasians. Preliminary evidence exists regarding the differences in pain coping strategies between the US and Portugal; the US and Singapore; and among 4 French-speaking countries. It is found that Spanish patients with fibromyalgia (FM) have more negative illness perceptions than Dutch patients. There is preliminary evidence that Caucasians have higher self-efficacy than African-Americans. There is also preliminary evidence that New Zealanders have more internal health expectancies than patients from the US. Preliminary evidence is demonstrated that Caucasians with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have more positive control beliefs than African-Americans. Lastly, there is preliminary evidence that patients from the US believe that they are more disabled, while Singaporeans interpret the pain more by a traditional biomedical perspective. Limitations: Only 11 articles were included. The small number of articles, wide range of assessment methods, and substantial risk of bias in the included studies led the investigator to draw conclusions cautiously. Conclusion: Preliminary to moderate evidence shows the differences in coping strategies, illness perceptions, self-efficacy, fear avoidance beliefs, locus of control, and pain attitudes in different populations. Further prospective and longitudinal studies using standard definitions for race, ethnicity or culture and valid questionnaires for each population are warranted to explore the racial, ethnic and cultural discrepancies in pain beliefs, cognitions, and behaviours. Key words: Chronic pain, musculoskeletal pain, pain beliefs, pain cognitions, pain behaviors, race, ethnicity, culture

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, ağrı yönetiminde kullanılan hem aktif hem pasif başetme stratejilerini eşit ağırlıkta değerlendiren ve özgün formu Kraaimaat ve Evers (2003) tarafından geliştirilmiş olan Ağrıyla Başetme Envanteri'nin (ABE) Türkçe formunun geçerlik ve güvenirliliğini sınamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklemi, çeşitli kronik ağrı hastalarından oluşan 232'si (%83,2) kadın, 47'si (%16,8) erkek 279 yetişkinden oluşmaktadır. Veri toplamada ABE'nin yanı sıra, ölçüt ve yakınsak geçerlik sınaması için Genel Özyeterlilik Ölçeği, Ağrı Özetkinlik Ölçeği-2, Stresle Başaçıkma Tarzları Ölçeği ve Ağrıyla Başaçıkma Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Temel Bileşenler Analizi'nde ABE uzaklaşma, ağrıyı dönüştürme, rahatlatıcı düşünme, endişe, dinlenme ve geri çekilme olmak üzere altı faktör olarak bulunmuştur. Altölçeklerin Cronbach içtutarlılık katsayısı .53 ile .77 arasında değişmektedir. ABE'nin altboyutları ile diğer ölçeklerin kriter ve ölçüt geçerliliğine ilişkin korelasyon değerleri anlamlıdır. Sonuç: Bu bulgular, ABE'nin farklı gruptan ağrı hastalarında ağrıyla başetme yöntemlerini değerlendirmek amacıyla kullanılabileceğine işaret etmektedir.
