The effect of pain social support on kinesiophobia in older patients with rheumatoid arthritis: The mediating role of self-perceived burden

Pain intensity and self‐perceived burden mediate the relationship between family functioning and pain catastrophizing in patients with neuropathic pain

“…The significant mediating effect of self‐perceived burden between family functioning and pain catastrophizing indicated that good family functioning was conducive to a reduced sense of burden in patients with NP, and therefore tends to view pain with an optimistic attitude, reducing pain catastrophizing. Social support encompasses family support, and our study shows that good family functioning is beneficial in alleviating self‐perceived burden, supporting and expanding previous studies on the effect of good social support on easing self‐perceived burden (Tan et al, 2023). The self‐perceived burden is generated when patients interact with family, friends, or other important people and receive care simultaneously (Bigger & Vo, 2022).…”

“…Selfperceived burden refers to empathic concern engendered from the impact on others of one's illness and care needs, which occurs in more than 70% of patients with pain (Kowal et al, 2012). Research has confirmed that good care and support from others for people with pain can effectively reduce self-perceived burdens (Tan et al, 2023). Considering that a family is a unit capable of providing substantive and emotional support for individuals, we hypothesized that family functioning will likely impact self-perceived burden as well.…”

Association between personality traits and psychological distress among postmenopausal women with coronary heart disease: A cross‐sectional survey and mediation analysis

“…Those who receive daily care may feel that they are creating physical, emotional, social, and economic hardships for their family without opportunities to restore the balance between receiving and providing help, thereby increasing SPB and precipitating depressive mood (Tang et al, 2016). Du (2021) and M. Tan et al (2023) demonstrated that PSS was negatively correlated with SPB. Specifically, when PSS is declined, an individual may feel a sense of self-blame.…”

Self-Efficacy’s Mediating Role in the Relationship Between Self-Perceived Burden and Health-Related Quality of Life Among Older-Adult Inpatients in China: A Cross-Sectional Study

“…7 This feeling can cause patients to experience negative emotions such as depression, anxiety, frustration, and loss of dignity, and it ultimately affects the patient's treatment effect, treatment decision-making, and quality of life, and may even lead to thoughts of suicide. 8 A study reported that older patients in China experienced high levels of SPB, suggesting that medical staff should focus on patients' psychological status, help reduce their psychological burden, and guide them in developing a healthy lifestyle. 9 Factors associated with the self-perceived burden among older-adult inpatients have been reported in previous studies, including sociodemographic factors such as age, gender, marital status, residence, education, occupational status, income, 10 caregiver, 11 and payment methods; and other related factors such as QoL, 12 social support, and life events.…”
