Pain catastrophizing is a notable concept associated with change in chronic pain interference and depression. Sleep quality is also one of the important factors affecting geriatric depression. This study examined the mediating effects of chronic pain interference and sleep quality on the relationship between pain catastrophizing and depression. This study is a secondary data analysis that analyzed a total of 138 older Korean adults with chronic pain. The participants were selected from a single elderly daycare center in a city in South Korea. Also, the multiple regression analysis and PROCESS macro with bootstrapping were used. The results revealed that chronic pain interference and sleep quality mediated the relationship between pain catastrophizing and depression, respectively. Furthermore, chronic pain interference and sleep quality sequentially and dually mediated the effect of pain catastrophizing on depression. In the management of depression in the elderly, persistent complaints of pain should not be disregarded, irrespective of the intensity of their chronic pain. Psychological intervention is needed to alleviate negative thoughts about chronic pain and to increase the ability to cope with chronic pain. In addition, it is important to assess sleep patterns and to develop interventions to improve sleep quality, because depression in the elderly could appear as a symptom of a sleep problems.
