The purposes of this study were to describe the occurrence of chronic pain and to evaluate for differences in pain characteristics and intimate partner violence between women who reported mild compared with moderate to severe chronic pain. A convenience sample of community-based women (N = 84) was recruited. The 77% of women who reported chronic pain were dichotomized into two groups. Women with moderate to severe pain (n = 49) were significantly more likely to be unemployed, to be in the abusive relationship longer, to report more minor injuries and threats of violence, and to report pain in multiple locations that significantly interfered with every aspect of their lives.
本研究旨在描述慢性疼痛的发生情况，并评估报告轻度慢性疼痛与中度至重度慢性疼痛的女性之间在疼痛特征和亲密伴侣暴力方面的差异。本研究招募了一个基于社区的女性方便样本（N=84）。报告慢性疼痛的女性中有 77%被分为两组。报告中至重度疼痛的女性（n=49）更可能失业、处于受虐关系的时间更长、报告更多的轻伤和暴力威胁、并报告多处疼痛，这些疼痛严重干扰了她们生活的方方面面。
