摘要:
Abstract: This study investigated the value of the sense of coherence (SOC), self-esteem, and the Mental Health Inventory subscales as predictors of response to a brief pain management program. One hundred and seven chronic pain patients who participated in a pain management program, which included education about pain, relaxation training, and stress management, were sent a follow-up questionnaire 6 months after the course. Reported pain intensity since the course was significantly associated with SOC subscale meaningfulness. The use of relaxation and other techniques taught in the course was correlated with positive affect and well-being. The results suggest that health-promoting variables may offer advantages over pathological measures as predictors of patient response to pain management programs, and SOC is worthy of further study
