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.

This study (1) analyzes the differences between non-participating and participating older women in terms of clinical characteristics, pain coping strategies, health-related quality of life and physical activity (PA); (2) studies the associations between non-participants and participants, clinical characteristics, pain coping strategies, HRQoL and bodily pain and PA; and (3) determines whether catastrophizing, physical role, behavioural coping, social functioning and emotional role are significant mediators in the link between participating in a Pilates-aerobic program (or not) and bodily pain. The sample comprised 340 older women over 60 years old. Participants of the present cross-sectional study completed measures of clinical characteristics: HRQoL using the SF-36 Health Survey, pain-coping strategies using the Vanderbilt Pain Management Inventory (VPMI) and PA using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Significant differences between non-participants and participants, were found in clinical characteristics, pain-coping strategies (both, p < 0.05), HRQoL (p < 0.01), and PA (p < 0.001). Moreover, catastrophizing support mediated the link between non-participants and participants and bodily pain by 95.9% of the total effect; 42.9% was mediated by PA and 39.6% was mediated by behavioural coping. These results contribute to a better understanding of the link between PA and bodily pain.

This study investigated pain coping profiles using theCoping Strategies Questionnaire-24(CSQ-24) in a sample of 171 workers’ compensation clients with chronic musculoskeletal pain from Canada. Cluster analysis identified three distinct coping profiles: mixed coping, catastrophising, and positive coping. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) results revealed that the positive coping group had lower levels of activity interference and depression as well as higher levels of quality of life than the mixed coping and catastrophising groups. Study findings indicate clients with chronic musculoskeletal pain can be categorised according to pain coping strategies, and pain coping strategies used are related to rehabilitation outcomes. The implications of these pain coping profiles for rehabilitation counselling practice are discussed.

Abstract Background To date, coping strategies have not been studied in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), despite evidence of their relevance in chronic liver pathology, Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity (OB). We therefore analyzed which coping strategies predicted quality of life in diabetic and obese NAFLD patients. Methods Four hundred and ninety-two biopsy-proven NAFLD patients (290 men and 202 women, mean age 54.90±11.74) were evaluated using The Brief COPE, 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12) and Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire-Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (CLDQ-NAFLD). A stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was performed on four groups (G1, n = 335, absence of T2DM; G2, n = 157, presence of T2DM; G3, n = 249, absence of OB; and G4, n = 243, presence of OB) to analyze which coping strategies predicted patient quality of life (physical component summary SF-12, mental component summary SF-12, and total CLDQ-NAFLD). Results In both diabetic and obese patients, active coping (T2DM, p = 0.003, β = 0.26; OB, p = 0.000, β = 0.33) and denial (T2DM, p = 0.027, β=-0.19; OB, p = 0.004, β=-0.18) predicted the physical component summary. Denial (T2DM, p = 0.000, β=-0.30; OB, p = 0.001, β=-0.19), positive reframing (T2DM, p = 0.000, β = 0.28; OB, p = 0.000, β = 0.29), self-blame (T2DM, p = 0.000, β=-0.24; OB, p = 0.000, β=-0.26) and self-distraction (T2DM, p = 0.033, β=-0.13; OB, p = 0.023, β=-0.11) predicted the mental component summary. Denial (T2DM, p = 0.000, β=-0.34; OB, p = 0.000, β=-0.31), positive reframing (T2DM, p = 0.000, β = 0.30; OB, p = 0.005, β = 0.15) and self-blame (T2DM, p = 0.000, β=-0.26; OB, p = 0.000, β=-0.28) also predicted the total CLDQ-NAFLD in both groups. Conclusions Active coping and positive reframing predicted better quality of life, while denial, self-blame and self-distraction predicted worse quality of life in diabetic and obese NAFLD patients, suggesting the inclusion of coping strategies in future multidisciplinary NAFLD treatments. Key messages Importance of coping strategies for NAFLD patients: active coping and positive reframing predicted better quality of life, while denial, self-blame and self-distraction predicted worse quality. This study shows the need to design multidisciplinary strategies for managing NAFLD and improving patient quality of life, in which intervention in coping strategies should be a major element.

Spiritual Assessment

This research aimed to explore patient motivation for attending hospital-run church services in a complex continuing care hospital setting, as well as the perceived spiritual benefits as categorized by Fitchett’s 7 × 7 Model for Spiritual Assessment. Invitations to participate in one-to-one interviews were offered to all patient attendees at both an ecumenical and a Roman Catholic service over the course of several weeks. We collected 20 interviews before performing a qualitative analysis, at which point we determined that saturation of content had been reached. The key findings were that participants identified the strongest perceived benefits in Experiences and Emotions, and Rituals and Practice, suggesting that access to the ritual of Sunday church services contributes meaningfully to participants’ coping strategies and overall quality of life.
