Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience that exists all over the world and has a negative effect on people's ability to engage in valuable life activities. The present study was conducted aiming to investigate the mediating role of coping strategies and emotion regulation in the relationship between pain acceptance and pain anxiety. The research design was descriptive, and the sample consisted of 428 students selected via purposive sampling. Pain Anxiety Symptoms Scale (PASS-20), Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire-8 (CPAQ-8), Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ), The Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI), and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) were used as research tools. The results obtained from the correlation revealed that there is a significant relationship between pain acceptance and pain anxiety, coping strategies, and emotion regulation. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) showed that coping strategies and emotion regulation are able to mediate the relationship between pain acceptance and pain anxiety. In general, results revealed that adaptive coping strategies can be effective in coping with pain; emotional components play an important role in this regard. These results demonstrate the importance of attitude and self-regulation in coping with pain, and suggest that people can expand their adaptation to pain by assessing the situation and adopting an effective coping style.
疼痛是一种不愉快的感觉和情感体验，存在于世界各地，对人们参与有价值的生活活动的能力产生负面影响。本研究旨在探讨应对策略和情绪调节在疼痛接受度和疼痛焦虑之间关系中的中介作用。研究设计为描述性，样本由通过目的抽样选择的 428 名学生组成。使用疼痛焦虑症状量表（PASS-20）、慢性疼痛接受问卷-8（CPAQ-8）、应对方式问卷（WCQ）、多维疼痛量表（MPI）和情绪调节问卷（ERQ）作为研究工具。相关性分析结果表明，疼痛接受度与疼痛焦虑、应对策略和情绪调节之间存在显著关系。结构方程模型（SEM）表明，应对策略和情绪调节能够中介疼痛接受度和疼痛焦虑之间的关系。总的来说，结果表明，适应性应对策略可以有效应对疼痛；情绪成分在这方面起着重要作用。这些结果表明，在应对疼痛时，态度和自我调节很重要，建议人们通过评估情况和采用有效的应对方式来扩大对疼痛的适应能力。
