Dependence vs. addiction
Background Opioids occupy an ambivalent position in contemporary healthcare: they are recognized as effective pain relief but remain heavily stigmatized due to their association with addiction. Drawing on Scambler’s stigma framework, this article examines how Belgian Dutch-language policy documents construct the concepts of ‘dependence’ and ‘addiction’ in the context of chronic pain management.Methods We analyzed 32 policy documents on opioid use…
Sex and gender differences in the public stigmatization of persistent somatic symptoms
Patients, Trauma Survivors, Sweethearts, or Troublemakers
Despite the high level of scientific support for the effectiveness of opioid substitution treatments (OSTs), individuals who rely on this treatment are a highly stigmatized population within healthcare settings. Previous studies mainly focused on the experiences of OST clients, while the perspective of medical professionals regarding OST remains largely unexplored. This study aims to investigate the discourse of pharmacists and general practition…
Coping With a Dead End by Relying on Your Own Compass
Fibromyalgia lacks a coherent illness and treatment model, which includes a set of conceptual ideas shaping individuals' perceptions and understandings of pain, its causing and maintaining factors, and management strategies. Developing personalized illness models that can guide treatment plans and alleviate feelings of uncertainty is of crucial importance. This study investigates how individuals with fibromyalgia develop a personal illness and tr…
Individuals with chronic pain using opioids
Chronic pain, defined as pain persisting for more than three months, affects one in four Belgian adults. Treating chronic pain comprises challenges for patients and clinicians as the term encompasses diverse conditions such as fibromyalgia, migraine, and long-term pain without a known biomedical cause. Additionally, growing evidence highlights the limited efficacy of opioids in managing chronic non-cancer pain. This has prompted critical policy c…
Looking on the bright side
A deficits-based approach to adolescent chronic pain currently dominates the literature, to the exclusion of positive approaches, such as flourishing. Addressing this knowledge gap, this study examined the relationships between flourishing and pain-related outcomes in adolescent chronic pain. Seventy-nine adolescents aged 11-24 years were asked to complete self-report measures of three domains of flourishing and four pain-related outcomes. Correl…
The perception, understanding and experience of flourishing in young people living with chronic pain
Much research has adopted a deficits-based approach to chronic pain, neglecting the study of flourishing. Using a Q-methodological framework, this study sought to explore how individuals experience, understand and perceive flourishing in the context of young people living with chronic pain. Fifty-four individuals completed a Q-sorting task, indicating their level of agreement and disagreement with 52 statements. Q-analysis generated three factors…
Parents' Perspectives of Changes Within the Family Functioning After a Pediatric Cancer Diagnosis
Pediatric cancer is a life-threatening disease that challenges the life of the diagnosed child, the parents, and possible siblings. Moreover, it also places considerable demands on family life. The aim of this study was to explore changes in the family functioning after a pediatric cancer diagnosis. Ten couples who had a child with leukemia or non-Hodgkin lymphoma were interviewed individually about their experiences. Interviews were semistructur…
Self-esteem and illness self-concept in emerging adults with Type 1 diabetes
This long-term prospective study examined whether illness self-concept (or the degree to which chronic illness becomes integrated in the self) mediated the pathway from self-esteem to problem areas in diabetes in emerging adults with Type 1 diabetes. Having a central illness self-concept (i.e. feeling overwhelmed by diabetes) was found to relate to lower self-esteem, and more treatment, food, emotional, and social support problems. Furthermore, p…
Environmental factors influencing older adults’ walking for transportation
BACKGROUND: Current knowledge on the relationship between the physical environment and walking for transportation among older adults (≥ 65 years) is limited. Qualitative research can provide valuable information and inform further research. However, qualitative studies are scarce and fail to include neighborhood outings necessary to study participants' experiences and perceptions while interacting with and interpreting the local social and physic…
Relationship between the physical environment and different domains of physical activity in European adults
Child's and Parents' Catastrophizing about Pain is Associated with Procedural Fear in Children
The contribution of the child's and parents' catastrophizing about pain was explored in explaining procedural pain and fear in children. Procedural fear and pain were investigated in 44 children with Type I diabetes undergoing a finger prick. The relationships between parents' catastrophizing and parents' own fear and estimates of their child's pain were also investigated. The children and their mothers completed questionnaires prior to a routine…
A biopsychosocial formulation of pain communication
We present a detailed framework for understanding the numerous and complicated interactions among psychological and social determinants of pain through examination of the process of pain communication. The focus is on an improved understanding of immediate dyadic transactions during painful events in the context of broader social phenomena. Fine-grain consideration of social transactions during pain leads to an appreciation of sociobehavioral eve…
