Factors relating to working status, i.e. whether the subject is still at work or on workmen's compensation, have been studied in chronic pain patients. Sociodemographic and pain variables were not correlated with absence from work, nor was diagnosis. However, beliefs and attitudes concerning pain differed between patients still working and those on workmen's compensation. In chronic pain patients medical attention should focus not only on description of symptoms but also on the "illness behaviour" dimension.
研究人员对慢性疼痛患者与工作状态相关的因素进行了研究，即受试者仍在工作还是领取工伤补偿。社会人口统计学和疼痛变量与缺勤无关，诊断结果也与之无关。然而，仍在工作的患者和领取工伤补偿的患者在对疼痛的信念和态度上存在差异。对于慢性疼痛患者，医疗关注不仅应集中在症状描述上，还应关注“疾病行为”方面。
