The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify how low-income older women with disabilities perceive pain, pain management, and communication with healthcare providers. We interviewed 26 low-income women (average age 75 years; SD 7.0), eliciting the following overarching themes: "Invisibility of Pain: Unnoticed or Undetected," "Escalating Pain Leads to Help Seeking," "Communication with Healthcare Providers and Outcomes," "Pain Management Facilitates Function and Accomplishment," and "The Intersection of Pain, Disability, and Depressive Symptoms." Study findings support the ways in which behavior changes from pain can impede pain management.
本定性研究旨在确定残疾的低收入老年女性如何感知疼痛、管理疼痛以及与医疗保健提供者沟通。我们采访了 26 名低收入女性（平均年龄 75 岁；标准差 7.0），得出以下总体主题：“疼痛的无形性：未被注意或未被发现”、“疼痛加剧导致寻求帮助”、“与医疗保健提供者的沟通和结果”、“疼痛管理促进功能和成就”和“疼痛、残疾和抑郁症状的交集”。研究结果支持了疼痛引起的行为变化会阻碍疼痛管理的方式。
