Topical review: Resilience resources and mechanisms in pediatric chronic pain
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: To apply resilience theory and the extant literature to propose a resilience-risk model for pediatric chronic pain and provide an agenda for research and clinical practice in pediatric chronic pain resilience. METHOD: Literature review to develop a resilience-risk model for pediatric chronic pain. RESULTS: The chronic pain literature has identified unique individual and social/environmental resilience resources and pain-related resilience mechanisms that promote pain adaptation. These data support our ecological resilience-risk model for pediatric chronic pain, and the model highlights novel directions for clinical and research efforts for youth with chronic pain. CONCLUSIONS: The examination of pediatric chronic pain from a strengths-based approach might lead to novel clinical avenues to empower youth to positively adapt and live beyond their pain.

Quality of life and resilience constructs such as acceptance, flexibility, and positive peer/family dynamics were not examined in the 6-session CBT group study.
“Quality of life and resilience constructs such as acceptance, flexibility, and positive peer/family dynamics, however, were not examined [14].”
From Multi-family pediatric pain group therapy: Capturing acceptance and cultivating change (2017) · cites this paper as [14]
The Individual Resilience Mechanisms, Family and Social-Environmental Resilience Resources, and Resilience Outcomes sections discuss acceptance, flexibility, social relationships, and quality of life. Our copy does not discuss the six-session CBT group study or say which outcomes it examined (searched for the study and its measures), so it cannot verify the claimed omission. (LLM, conf=0.76)

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.
