This qualitative study examined the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lives of patients living with chronic pain (CP). Patients referred to an interdisciplinary pain management program between July and December of 2021 were asked to respond to the question: "How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect your life?" Fifty-four patients provided comments in response to this question. The comments were analyzed using an inductive approach. Ten themes emerged: (1) psychological state, (2) limitations on social life and activities, (3) minimal to no effect, (4) beliefs and opinions associated with COVID-19, (5) family dynamics, (6) healthcare disruptions, (7) pandemic-related fear, (8) changes in work, (9) change in pain, and (10) getting COVID-19. These themes mirror those found during the onset of the pandemic, with the addition of theme #4. Themes demonstrate the challenges experienced by individuals living with CP, in addition to new developments in the latter portion of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to understand the ramifications of shutdowns, so we are better able to address issues that occur in their aftermath.
这项定性研究考察了新冠疫情对慢性疼痛（CP）患者生活的影响。2021年7月至12月期间被转介至一个跨学科疼痛管理项目的患者被要求回答这个问题：“新冠疫情如何影响了你的生活？”54名患者针对这个问题发表了评论。这些评论采用归纳法进行分析。出现了10个主题：（1）心理状态，（2）社交生活和活动受限，（3）影响极小或没有影响，（4）与新冠相关的信念和观点，（5）家庭动态，（6）医疗保健中断，（7）与疫情相关的恐惧，（8）工作变化，（9）疼痛变化，以及（10）感染新冠。这些主题与疫情初期发现的主题相符，此外还增加了主题4。这些主题表明了CP患者所经历的挑战，以及新冠疫情后期出现的新情况。了解封锁的影响很重要，这样我们就能更好地应对其后续出现的问题。
