  • Goal Pursuit, Goal Adjustment, and Pain in Middle-Aged Adults Aging With Physical Disability

    Open AccessAnne Arewasikporn, Ann Marie Roepke et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2019Cited by: 1References: 6

    Objective: Aging with physical disability disrupts one's ability to achieve valued goals due to changes in symptoms and function. It is unclear how to cope optimally in this context. This study examined whether two possible strategies-tenacious goal pursuit (TGP) and flexible goal adjustment (FGA)-were associated with reduced pain interference and depressive symptoms and greater well-being, and protected against pain intensity, and FGA was more p…

  • Assessing Perceived Success in Valued Living in Individuals With Long-Term Physical Health Conditions

    Open AccessMark P Jensen, Hillary C Devlin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2019References: 2

    Objective: To evaluate the reliability and validity of a brief measure of successful aging in a sample of adults with long-term health conditions. Method : The brief (eight-item) version of the valued living scale (VLS) and measures of pain intensity, pain interference, and depression were administered to 1,457 adults aging with one of four long-term health conditions. Results : Analyses indicated that the VLS items assessed two types of valued l…

  • Resilience, age, and perceived symptoms in persons with long-term physical disabilities

    Open AccessAlexandra L Terrill, Ivan R Molton et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2016Cited by: 12References: 47

    Resilience may mitigate impact of secondary symptoms such as pain and fatigue on quality of life in persons aging with disability. This study examined resilience in a large sample of individuals with disabling medical conditions by validating the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, obtaining descriptive information about resilience and evaluating resilience as a mediator among key secondary symptoms and quality of life using structural equation mod…

  • Modeling Secondary Health Conditions in Adults Aging With Physical Disability

    Open AccessIvan R Molton, Ivan Molton et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2014Cited by: 2References: 2

    These data support a biopsychosocial model of secondary health conditions in adults aging with physical disability and suggest a five-factor approach for conceptualizing secondary conditions and their impact. Results also emphasize the importance of age in symptom severity and impact

  • Age and the role of restricted activities in adjustment to disability-related pain

    Open AccessIvan R Molton, Ivan Molton et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2014Cited by: 5References: 37

    Chronic pain is common in individuals with multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury and is associated with depressed mood. This may be because pain creates interference in performing and enjoying valued activities. The importance of pain interference may also vary with age, since older adults may have lowered expectations regarding function. This study analyzed relationships among pain variables, age, and mood in 521 individuals with multiple sc…

Method. Participants were 464 adults reporting chronic pain secondary to multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, or neuromuscular disease. Participants completed a survey including measures of pain severity and the …
