The present study investigates how participants' locus of control and their family and friends' validation of their pain influences participants' chronic pain experiences. Four thousand, 25 adults were recruited through the Chronic Pain In America survey. Results show that individuals who endorse an internal locus of control and experience family and friends' validation of their chronic pain reported better chronic pain outcomes and less negative life impact due to chronic pain. The current results indicate the locus of control and family and friends' validation of chronic pain experience plays an important role in chronic pain and the impact of chronic pain across the life course.
本研究调查了参与者的控制点以及他们的家人和朋友对其疼痛的认可如何影响参与者的慢性疼痛体验。通过“美国慢性疼痛”调查招募了425名成年人。结果表明,认可内控点并得到家人和朋友对其慢性疼痛认可的个体,报告的慢性疼痛结果更好,且慢性疼痛对生活的负面影响更小。当前结果表明,控制点以及家人和朋友对慢性疼痛体验的认可在慢性疼痛以及慢性疼痛对整个生命历程的影响中起着重要作用。
