“…The first such explanation is that pain resilience is a resource that is only tapped into when facing high degrees of pain. This explanation is consistent with the definition of pain resilience, which suggests that it is a measure of coping during "intense or prolonged pain" (Ankawi et al, 2017).…”

“…Another possibility is that pain ratings may not be an ideal outcome measure in the context of pain resilience testing. Pain resilience has been defined as one's ability to maintain behavioral engagement and regulate emotions as well as cognitions despite intense or prolonged pain (Ankawi et al, 2017). Per this definition, a resilient person is not necessarily expected to report lower pain.…”

“…Research on these constructs began in chronic pain research, but numerous studies have investigated the role of resilience factors in experimental pain settings. Pain resilience, defined as one's ability to maintain behavioral engagement and regulate emotions as well as cognitions despite intense or prolonged pain (Ankawi, Slepian, Himawan, & France, 2017), is one such construct.…”

“…We surveyed 871 participants on their attitudes towards advocating for themselves when their existing pain is undertreated, and their likelihood to use particular strategies to advocate for themselves in such situations. Participants were recruited online during May of 2018 through Amazon Mechanical Turk, an online survey crowdsourcing application that has successfully been used in similar experimental surveys (Paolacci, Chandler, and Ipeirotis 2010;Buhrmester, Kwang, and Gosling 2011;Shapiro, Chandler, and Mueller 2013;Ankawi et al 2017). Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is an online platform that allows requesters to draw from a diverse pool of participants to complete online tasks (including, frequently, surveys) in exchange for payment.…”

Is There a Gender Self-Advocacy Gap? An Empiric Investigation Into the Gender Pain Gap

There are documented differences in the efficacy of medical treatment for pain for men and women. Women are less likely to have their pain controlled and receive less treatment than men. We are investigating one possible explanation for this gender pain gap: that there is a difference in how women and men report their pain to physicians, and so there is a difference in how physicians understand their pain. This paper describes an exploratory study into gendered attitudes towards reporting uncontrolled pain to a physician. This exploratory study provided subjects with a vignette describing a situation in which their pain is not being treated adequately and asked them questions about their attitudes towards selfadvocacy and the strategies they would likely use to express themselves. We found that women scored higher than men on measures of patient likelihood to self-advocate. Women also reported intending to use more varied self-advocacy strategies than men. This suggests it is unlikely that patient's communication styles are to blame for the gender pain gap.

“…The Pain Resilience Scale (PRS) asks participants how they respond when faced with intense or prolonged pain by rating items on a 14-item Likert scale using a “Not at all” (0) to “All the time” (4) scale with higher scores indicating greater pain resilience. Strong internal consistency and acceptable levels of stability have been established (alpha=.93, intraclass correlation coefficient=.80) [ 29 ].…”

BackgroundSørensen trunk extension endurance test performance predicts the development of low back pain and is a strong discriminator of those with and without low back pain. Performance may greatly depend on psychological factors, such as kinesiophobia, self-efficacy, and motivation. Virtual reality video games have been used in people with low back pain to encourage physical activity that would otherwise be avoided out of fear of pain or harm. Accordingly, we developed a virtual reality video game to assess the influence of immersive gaming on the Sørensen test performance.ObjectiveThe objective of our study was to determine the physiological and psychological predictors of time to task failure (TTF) on a virtual reality Sørensen test in participants with and without a history of recurrent low back pain.MethodsWe recruited 24 individuals with a history of recurrent low back pain and 24 sex-, age-, and body mass index–matched individuals without a history of low back pain. Participants completed a series of psychological measures, including the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale, Pain Resilience Scale, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, and a self-efficacy measure. The maximal isometric strength of trunk and hip extensors and TTF on a virtual reality Sørensen test were measured. Electromyography of the erector spinae, gluteus maximus, and biceps femoris was recorded during the strength and endurance trials.ResultsA two-way analysis of variance revealed no significant difference in TTF between groups (P=.99), but there was a trend for longer TTF in females on the virtual reality Sørensen test (P=.06). Linear regression analyses were performed to determine predictors of TTF in each group. In healthy participants, the normalized median power frequency slope of erector spinae (beta=.450, P=.01), biceps femoris (beta=.400, P=.01), and trunk mass (beta=−.32, P=.02) predicted TTF. In participants with recurrent low back pain, trunk mass (beta=−.67, P<.001), Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (beta=−.43, P=.01), and self-efficacy (beta=.35, P=.03) predicted TTF.ConclusionsTrunk mass appears to be a consistent predictor of performance. Kinesiophobia appears to negatively influence TTF for those with a history of recurrent low back pain, but does not influence healthy individuals. Self-efficacy is associated with better performance in individuals with a history of recurrent low back pain, whereas a less steep median power frequency slope of the trunk and hip extensors is associated with better performance in individuals without a history of low back pain.
