Abstract: (2 Views)
Introduction: Pain is a necessary factor for survival and motivates us to run away from danger and seek care. The present study aimed to explain the fit of the structural equation model of chronic pain based on mindfulness and adherence to treatment with the mediating role of pain catastrophizing in women.
Method: This descriptive-correlational study employed structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all women referred to the pain clinics of Shiraz, Iran, in 2024 with complaints of musculoskeletal pain. In total, 384 cases were selected using a convenience sampling method. The data were collected using the McGill Pain Questionnaire, Five-Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (Baer et al.), Treatment Adherence Questionnaire (Madanlu), and Pain Catastrophizing Scale (Sullivan et al.). The obtained data were then analyzed using structural equation modeling through SPSS software (version 26) and AMOS software (version 24).
Results: The results of structural equation modeling indicated a good fit of the model with experimental data. Moreover, it indicated the significant effect of the coefficient of the standard direct path of mindfulness on the experience of chronic pain. The indirect path of mindfulness on the experience of chronic pain with the mediating role of pain catastrophizing was also significant (P<0.05) in this study. Additionally, the results showed the significant effect of direct and indirect standard path coefficient of treatment adherence with the mediating role of pain catastrophizing on chronic pain experience (P<0.05).
Conclusion: According to the obtained results, mindfulness and treatment adherence with the mediating role of pain catastrophizing play an important role in explaining chronic pain. It is worth mentioning that these variables have a significant contribution in predicting pain in patients with chronic pain.
