This pilot study was designed to identify the mood state of patients attending two pain clinics in the South of England and to identify the factors which are predictive of mood in patients with chronic pain. Patients were asked to complete a questionnaire which included a short bipolar mood profile, together with verbal rating scales to assess pain and contributory coping variables. The most commonly occurring negative moods were tension, worry and irritability. Lack of information was the best predictor of negative mood. Other variables which were found to be associated with negative mood included lack of sleep, occupation and emotional support, and financial problems.
这项试点研究旨在确定在英格兰南部两家疼痛诊所就诊的患者的情绪状态，并找出可预测慢性疼痛患者情绪的因素。研究要求患者填写一份问卷，其中包括一个简短的双相情绪量表，以及用于评估疼痛和辅助应对变量的语言评定量表。最常出现的负面情绪是紧张、担忧和易怒。信息不足是负面情绪的最佳预测指标。其他与负面情绪相关的变量包括睡眠不足、职业、情感支持和经济问题。
