Social environment moderates the association between catastrophizing and pain among persons with a spinal cord injury
Abstract
Catastrophizing, or exaggerating the negative consequences of a situation, is associated with higher pain intensity, emotional distress, and functional disability among persons with chronic pain. According to the 'communal coping' model, catastrophizing in persons with pain may function as a social communication directed toward obtaining social proximity, support, or assistance. We tested the hypothesis, based on this model, that social factors would moderate the association between catastrophizing and sensory and affective pain. Seventy-four persons with a spinal cord injury and chronic pain completed measures of catastrophizing, solicitousness, depression, and sensory and affective pain before beginning a randomized controlled medication trial. Catastrophizing was significantly associated with solicitousness and pain reports. The association between catastrophizing and sensory pain scores was stronger for those who lived with a spouse or partner than for those who lived with someone else. In addition, there was a stronger association between catastrophizing and affective pain for those who reported greater solicitousness in their relationship. The results provide partial support for the communal coping model of catastrophizing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
