Abstract

BACKGROUND: Chronic pain is a prevalent health condition associated with parenting difficulties. Pain-specific parenting, such as protectiveness and catastrophizing, may contribute to chronic pain in children. Additional work is needed to test predictors of pain-specific parenting. Aim: The current study tested parent mental health symptoms as predictors of protectiveness and catastrophizing about child pain and whether comorbid pain and mental health symptoms exacerbate risk for problematic responses to children's pain. METHODS: = 80) completed self-report questionnaires assessing pain characteristics, mental health symptoms, and pain-specific parenting responses. RESULTS: Results indicated significantly higher rates of depression, anxiety, and somatization in parents with chronic pain. Depression predicted protectiveness and catastrophizing over and above chronic pain status. Chronic pain status moderated the association between increased anxiety and greater catastrophizing about child pain. CONCLUSIONS: Findings highlight the potential impact of mental health symptoms on pain-specific parenting even when accounting for chronic pain status.

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.
