Mapping Clinician Perspectives on Pediatric Chronic Pain Needs in Spain
Chronic pain is a significant public health issue, particularly prominent in pediatric populations due to limited access to validated treatments. The World Health Organization emphasizes the necessity of identifying the needs of children as a foundational step in developing effective treatments. This study aims to identify the healthcare needs of children with chronic pain, including perceived needs, barriers, and facilitators identified by clini…
The role of gratitude and optimism interventions in reducing suicide risk and enhancing wellbeing among university students
Short-term gratitude + optimism training effectively enhances wellbeing and reduces suicide-risk correlates among university students. Findings support the integration of scalable positive-psychology interventions within campus mental-health programs
Virtual Reality Distraction for Needle-Related Pain and Distress in Children
This international multicenter randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) distraction with an identical non-VR game in reducing needle-related pain and anxiety in children undergoing venous blood draw. The study involved 304 children aged 5–9 years undergoing a blood draw procedure, randomly allocated to one of three groups: VR distraction, non-VR distraction, and control group (usual care). The distrac…
Effect of a controlled diaphragmatic breathing session on perceived pain and state anxiety in people with chronic pain
Chronic pain conditions are frequently comorbid with anxiety problems. The controlled diaphragmatic breathing technique has been applied in both conditions. However, few studies have examined its efficacy in reducing perceived pain and state anxiety in the population with both pathologies. Thus, the study objective was to investigate the immediate effects of a single-session diaphragmatic breathing intervention on perceived pain and state anxiety…
Psychological Variables Associated With Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Firefighters
Firefighters are repeatedly exposed to work-related potential traumatic events and have an increased risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, the mechanisms implicated in this relationship are not clear. The aim of this study was to analyse the risk and protective factors related to the development of PTSD in firefighters. According to PRISMA, a systematic review of scientific literature was conducted in Web of Science, …
The Current Mental Health of Healthcare Workers 3 Years After the Start of the Pandemic
Healthcare workers have been a vulnerable group during the pandemic. Even today, they continue to deal with the virus and its consequences. Such sustained stress over time has led to the development of mental health problems that may still be present in this population. These may be related to the coping strategies that are being implemented to manage this situation. This study aimed to examine the mental health of health professionals after the …
Does pain catastrophizing and distress intolerance mediate the relationship between PTSD and prescribed opioid misuse in people with chronic noncancer pain
Distress intciolerance and pain catastrophizing may be theoretically and clinically relevant constructs in understanding the motivation for opioid misuse in people with concurrent chronic noncancer pain and PTSD. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
The relevance of psychological strength for physical and psychological well‐being in trauma‐exposed women
Traumatic experiences have consistently been linked to poor health and well-being, particularly in women. Psychological factors have been theorized to directly affect the reporting of physical symptoms and perceptions of general health. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been proposed as a major pathway through which trauma affects health and emotion dysregulation. Trauma is considered to be a key psychological variable in the pathogenesis …
Exploring Changes in Activity Patterns in Individuals with Chronic Pain
This longitudinal study explored whether activity patterns change over time in a sample of 56 individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain over a 15-day period. Once a day, the participants recorded their level of pain intensity and the degree to which they had engaged in several specific activity patterns. Linear mixed models with random coefficients were used to investigate the rate of change in the activity patterns. Age, sex, pain intensity,…
Pain Acceptance and Pain-Related Disability Predict Healthcare Utilization and Medication Intake in Patients with Non-Specific Chronic Spinal Pain
Longitudinal research is needed to determine predictive factors of healthcare utilization and medication intake in people with non-specific spinal pain. This study aims to prospectively examine the predictive value of sex, age, work status, pain intensity, pain acceptance, disability, depression, pain anxiety, and catastrophizing in relation to healthcare utilization and medication intake in people with non-specific spinal pain. Participants were…
Using vignettes to assess the contribution of goal adjustment in the adaptation to chronic musculoskeletal pain
Physical Health Consequences of Interpersonal Trauma
Interpersonal forms of trauma are among the most commonly reported traumas. These types of traumas are more damaging to well-being than noninterpersonal forms. They have also been strongly associated with somatic symptoms and more general physical health problems. Nevertheless, the results of trauma studies are mixed and suggest that pathways may vary according to the stressors, mediators, and health outcomes investigated. This article presents a…
Behavioral Inhibition and Activation Systems, and Emotional Regulation in Individuals With Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain
Gray's Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory postulates two distinct neurophysiological systems that underlie thoughts, emotions, and behavior: the Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS) and the Behavioral Approach System (BAS). Preliminary research suggests that both systems may play relevant roles in the adjustment of individuals with chronic pain. However, there is a lack of research on the extent to which emotional regulation (i.e., cognitive reapprai…
