Passive Coping

Objective To develop multidimensional approaches for pain management, this study aimed to understand how PD patients cope with pain. Design Cross-sectional, cohort study. Setting Monocentric, inpatient, university hospital. Participants 52 patients with Parkinson’s disease (without dementia) analysed. Primary and secondary outcome measures Motor function, nonmotor symptoms, health-related quality of life (QoL), and the Coping Strategies Questionnaire were assessed. Elastic net regularization and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were used to study the association among coping, clinical parameters, and QoL. Results Most patients cope with pain through active cognitive (coping self-statements) and active behavioral strategies (increasing pain behaviors and increasing activity level). Active coping was associated with lower pain rating. Regarding QoL domains, active coping was associated with better physical functioning and better energy, whereas passive coping was associated with poorer emotional well-being. However, as demonstrated by MANOVA, the impact of coping factors (active and passive) on the Short Form 36 domains was negligible after correction for age, motor function, and depression. Conclusion Passive coping strategies are the most likely coping response of those with depressive symptoms, whereas active coping strategies are the most likely coping response to influence physical function. Although coping is associated with pain rating, the extent that pain coping responses can impact on QoL seems to be low.

Objective: To investigate associations of perceived usefulness to other people with active versus passive coping strategies among adults with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Additional aims explored contributions of personality variables to this dynamic. Method: 199 persons (70.3 years ± 10.4) with knee OA reported personality, coping, and psychosocial data using the Big Five Inventory, subscales from the Social Provisions Scale, and the Coping With Illness measure. Regression analyses identified predictors of perceived usefulness and its independent and interactive associations with active versus passive coping and personality variables. Results: Better subjective health predicted perceived usefulness. Older adults with higher reported perceived usefulness employed more active than passive pain coping strategies. Passive coping was associated with neuroticism and greater functional disability. Discussion: Usefulness predicted active OA pain coping, suggesting that it may promote well-being among persons with chronic pain. Further study investigating perceived usefulness in promoting positive health behaviors is needed.

Severity Of Depression

IntroductionStudies have shown that somatic pain influences the severity of major depressive disorder (MDD), and could be moderated through pain coping strategies and not catastrophizing to pain.ObjectivesThe aim of the study was to ascertain the correlation between pain coping strategies, catastrophizing to pain and severity of depression.MethodsThe study sample consisted of 82 patients diagnosed with MDD, aged between 18 and 65 years old (M = 46.21). Assessment instruments included The Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), The Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form-BPISF (consisting of two subscales: BPI1-intensity of pain, and BPI2-interference with daily functioning), The Vanderbilt Pain Management Inventory-VPMI (consisting of active-VPMIAC and passive pain coping mechanism subscales-VPMIPC) and The Pain Catastrophizing Scale-PCS (consisting of subscales of rumination, exaggeration and helplessness).ResultsThe average BDI-II score was 27.21 (SD = 11.53); the average score at BPI1 was 2.99 (SD = 2.83) and 3.35 (SD = 3.26) at BPI2; the average scores on the active coping mechanism subscale was 20.72 (SD = 4.87), and on the passive coping mechanism subscale 34.05 (SD = 7.86); the average catastrophizing scale score was 28.78 (SD = 10.72). Active mechanism of pain coping has shown significant negative correlation with depression (r = –0.227, P > 0.05) while passive mechanism of pain coping has shown significant positive correlation with depression (r = 0.269, P > 0.05). Intensity of depression was significantly positively correlated with intensity of catastrophizing to pain (r = 0.358, P > 0.01) and its derivatives: rumination, exaggeration and helplessness.ConclusionInterventions focusing on targeting catastrophizing to pain and pain coping mechanisms should be considered in the treatment of patients with MDD with somatic pain.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Level Of Agreement

The aim of this study is twofold. First, to assess the level of agreement between radiographic damage and functional disability in older people with osteoarthritis. And second, to assess the role of coping skills and sensory pain parameters as sources of disagreement between these variables. To achieve this objective we assess, in a sample of 104 older people with osteoarthritis, the following variables: functional capacity, radiographic damage, pain coping strategies, pain intensity, pain frequency and pain duration. The results show a non-linear relationship between radiographic damage and functional disability, modified by the levels of the two variables. There was maximum agreement between low levels of radiographic damage and of functional impairment, whilst agreement decreased for moderate and high levels of radiographic damage. Certain coping strategies may help to explain this disparity.

Mediating Role

Resilience, the ability to overcome adversity and face stressful demands and experiences, has been strongly associated with successful aging, a low risk of diseases and high mental and physical functioning. This relationship could be based on adaptive coping behaviors, but more research is needed to gain knowledge about the strategies employed to confront social stress. Thus, we aimed to investigate the role of the use of active or passive coping strategies by resilient people in dealing with stressful situations. For this purpose, we measured resilience, coping strategies, and perceived stress in 66 healthy older adults (31 men and 35 women) between 56 and 75 years old who were exposed to stress (Trier Social Stress Test, TSST) or a control situation. The stress response was analyzed at endocrine (cortisol) and psychological (anxiety) levels. In the stress condition, moderated mediation analysis showed a conditional indirect effect of resilience on cortisol reactivity through active coping. However, passive coping strategies did not mediate the resilience-cortisol relationship. In addition, neither active nor passive coping mediated the relationship between resilience and the anxiety response. These results suggest that resilience is associated with active coping strategies, which in turn could explain, at least in part, individual differences in the cortisol response to a psychosocial laboratory stressor. These factors may prevent the development of stress-related pathologies associated with aging and facilitate healthy and satisfactory aging.

This study explores the association between the values of dominant religions in Vietnam and the communication about pain coping strategies employed by Vietnamese women who have cancer. Data was collected by means of in-depth interviews with twenty-six Vietnamese female cancer patients. Content analysis was then utilised to describe and interpret the women’s pain talks. Participants proposed six religion-related pain coping strategies, including accepting pain, bearing pain on one’s own, trying to change karma, being positive about pain, managing to forget pain and sharing pain when it becomes unbearable. The findings reflected that the religious values of Confucianism and Buddhism are associated with the patients’ communication about the strategies they employed to cope with their pain. Moreover, the language of communicating pain coping could be mapped onto the categories of passive language and active language, within the religion framework. The research has thus also confirmed the role of language in the communication about pain experience.
