“…In addition to physical impairment and disability, chronic pain has been associated with increased unemployment and absence from work (Braden, Zhang, Zimmerman, & Sullivan, 2008), social isolation and loneliness (Loyland, Miaskowski, Paul, Dahl, & Rustoen, 2010), and increased rates of psychiatric disorders and suicidality (Ilgen, Zivin, McCammon, & Valenstein, 2008; Von Korff et al, 2005). …”

“…Alcohol users report social motives for drinking (Kuntsche, Knibbe, Gmel, & Engels, 2005), moderate alcohol consumption has been associated with social integration and sociability (Peele & Brodsky, 2000), and alcohol use appears to facilitate social bonding (Sayette et al, 2012). Given that chronic pain has been associated with social isolation (Loyland et al, 2010), researchers have hypothesized that persons with chronic pain may drink alcohol to facilitate social interactions (Kim et al, 2013). Additionally, chronic pain can be a salient stressor (Blackburn-Munro & Blackburn-Munro, 2001).…”

“…According to behavioral activation theory, humans are sensitive to the availability of positive reinforcers (Dimidjian, Martell, Addis, Herman-Dunn, & Barlow, 2008), and persons with chronic pain have been shown to experience less opportunities for positive reinforcement in their daily lives (e.g., Ditre et al, 2011; Loyland et al, 2010). Alcohol may facilitate positive reinforcement via direct appetitive subjective effects (e.g., vigor, elation; de Wit, Uhlenhuth, Pierri, & Johanson, 1987), and by increasing opportunities for social interaction.…”

Pain and alcohol use are both highly prevalent in the general population, and pain-alcohol interrelations are of increasing empirical interest. Previous research has identified associations between pain and alcohol dependence, and the current review provides novel contributions to this emerging domain by incorporating studies that have tested relations between pain and low-to-moderate alcohol consumption, and by identifying potential psychosocial mechanisms of action. Specifically, we sought to integrate evidence of pain-alcohol relations derived from two directions of empirical inquiry (i.e., effects of alcohol on pain and effects of pain on alcohol use) across psychological, social, and biological literatures. We observed converging evidence that associations between alcohol consumption and pain may be curvilinear in nature. Whereas moderate alcohol use was observed to be associated with positive pain-related outcomes (e.g., greater quality of life), excessive drinking and alcohol use disorder appear to be associated with deleterious pain-related outcomes (e.g., greater pain severity). We also observed evidence that alcohol administration confers acute pain-inhibitory effects, and that situational pain may motivate alcohol consumption (e.g., drinking for pain-coping). Future research can inform theoretical and clinical applications through examination of temporal relations between pain and alcohol consumption, tests of hypothesized mechanisms, and the development of novel interventions.

“…6, 8, 19, 68, 72 While disparities in prescribing opioid analgesics for pain have not been studied in patients with HIV, several studies found that African-American and Hispanic patients were less likely than White Americans to receive opioid analgesics in a variety of healthcare settings and for different types of pain. 10, 13, 47, 48, 70, 71 Despite this trend, only one study was found that evaluated the occurrence and characteristics of pain in an indigent sample of patients 41, 42 and to our knowledge, no studies have focused on indigent populations with HIV disease.…”

Pain is common among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), but little is known about chronic pain in socioeconomically disadvantaged HIV-infected populations with high rates of substance abuse in the post-antiretroviral era. This cross-sectional study describes the occurrence and characteristics of pain in a community-based cohort of 296 indigent PLWHA. Participants completed questionnaires about sociodemographics, substance use, depression and pain. Cut-point analysis was used to generate categories of pain severity. Of the 270 participants who reported pain or the use of a pain medication in the past week, 8.2% had mild pain, 38.1% had moderate pain, and 53.7% had severe pain. Female sex and less education were associated with more severe pain. Depression was more common among participants with severe pain than among those with mild pain. Increasing pain severity was associated with daily pain and with chronic pain. Over half of the participants reported having a prescription for an opioid analgesic. Findings from this study suggest that chronic pain is a significant problem in this high risk, socioeconomically disadvantaged group of patients with HIV disease and high rates of previous or concurrent use of illicit drugs.

Ageing populations entail important social issues. The population of Lodz is characterised by the highest ageing ratio in Poland (17.2% people aged 65 or above). The aim of our study was to present factors determining the use of social support services in the subpopulation of elderly people in a city environment. The study, conducted between 2011 and 2012 with the use of a survey questionnaire, included 466 respondents aged 65 or older, who were looked after by the Municipal Social Welfare Centre, Lodz-Polesie. The response rate was 93.2%. Most beneficiaries were women (77.9%). The respondents were mostly widows (73.9% of women) or widowers (43.7% of men). Most respondents applied for nursing services (79.7%), while 28.3% asked for financial help. In Lodz as a whole, these percentages were 81.0% and 19.0%. A chronic disease was the most common cause of the application for help (73.4%). In 4.1% of applicants, the cause was a low income per capita. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the variables which contributed to receiving financial support included being a man, aged 65-69 years, being single and receiving a monthly salary per capita below 500.0 PLN (Polish New Zlotys). The variables which contributed to receiving social care service in the form of nursing services included being a woman, aged 85 years or older, receiving a monthly salary per capita between 1001.0 and 1500.0 PLN, suffering from a chronic disease, which was a reason for applying for social support service, a result on the Activities of Daily Living scale confirming disability and a very negative self-evaluation of health. The results of the study have shown that the poor health condition of elderly people is the most frequent reason for applying for social services. Identifying reasons for applying for social care by elderly people might facilitate the introduction of workable solutions in the social and healthcare policy.
