People with chronic widespread pain (CWP) are often unfit for work, and consequently they are dependent on the municipality job center to receive social support and sickness benefits. The job center's case management is based on a social worker's assessment of the citizen's health condition. This qualitative study investigates social workers' understandings of CWP. Interviews were carried out with 12 social workers. The results showed that the participants predominantly experienced the citizens' illnesses as psychosocially mediated-referring to trauma, or a lack of meaning in the citizens' lives. Only a few participants mentioned possibilities for somatic explanations of CWP.
患有慢性广泛性疼痛(CWP)的人往往无法工作,因此他们依赖市政就业中心获得社会支持和疾病津贴。就业中心的个案管理基于社会工作者对公民健康状况的评估。这项定性研究调查了社会工作者对CWP的理解。对12名社会工作者进行了访谈。结果表明,参与者主要将公民的疾病体验为心理社会介导的——指的是创伤,或者公民生活中缺乏意义。只有少数参与者提到了对CWP进行躯体解释的可能性。
