School plays a central role in young people’s lives, offering a developmental environment that fosters crucial academic, emotional, cognitive, and social milestones. This chapter presents a critical discussion of how a young person’s school functioning can be negatively affected by chronic pain. We highlight how the impact of chronic pain, and associated psychosocial factors, goes beyond school absenteeism to influence school engagement, executive functioning skills, and social skills development. Furthermore, the challenges teachers face to provide an inclusive school environment for young people with chronic pain will be discussed in depth. The chapter ends with suggestions of how to overcome the barriers to implementing a comprehensive approach towards school functioning within both research and clinical practice, including reviewing standardized tools to assess school impairment and offering guidance for biopsychosocially informed approaches to foster adaptive school functioning in young people with chronic pain.

Although recurrent and chronic pain impacts the whole life of a child and or adolescent, little research has been conducted on social consequences of chronic pain for children and adolescents. Emerging research suggests that (1) peer relationships, including close friendships, of children and adolescents with chronic pain may be negatively impacted by pain and (2) social reactions from others can negatively impact the child or adolescent’s pain experience. School functioning may also be impaired as a result of chronic pain. Clinicians should understand the challenges experienced by children with chronic pain and should attend to the social and school consequences of pain when working with this population. Although little research has examined interventions to manage the effects of chronic pain on school and social functioning, researchers have identified helpful strategies that may mitigate the negative consequences to social and school functioning associated with chronic pain.

Social consequences of chronic pain for youth have only been a focus of research in the past decade. Research suggests that peer relationships, including close friendships, of children and adolescents with chronic pain may be negatively affected by pain. It has also been suggested that social reactions from others can negatively affect the child or adolescent’s pain experience. School functioning (i.e., academic performance and social engagement at school) may also be impaired as a result of chronic pain. Clinicians should understand the many challenges experienced by youth with chronic pain and should attend to the social consequences of pain when working with youth and their families. Research investigating interventions to manage the effects of chronic pain on school and social functioning is needed. However, there are some strategies that may be helpful in mitigating the negative consequences to social and school functioning associated with chronic pain.
