Understanding and Enhancing Pain Coping in Patients with Arthritis Pain

Psychosocial Factors in Arthritis

  • 1416 Accesses

Abstract

In this chapter we focus on understanding pain coping in arthritis pain, what factors impact patients’ abilities to cope with arthritis pain, how coping can be enhanced in patients with arthritis pain, and how clinicians can apply this information to help patients improve their arthritis pain and other outcomes. First, we discuss what coping with pain is in relation to a chronic disease like arthritis. Then, using a biopsychosocial framework, we describe factors that have empirical support as being important in impacting how patients cope with their arthritis pain. Second, we describe psychosocial intervention strategies that have been studied and shown efficacy for improving patients’ abilities to cope with their arthritis pain. We present interventions that focus on the patient, on the patient and caregiver, and on treating patients with significant pain and comorbid medical problems (e.g., obesity). Finally, we discuss the practicalities of assessing pain coping, including what measurement tools to use, and using these assessments to implement intervention strategies that can lead to improved pain coping and overall arthritis outcomes. We complete this chapter with a discussion of what is unknown about coping with arthritis pain and suggest several areas that warrant future research.
