A longitudinal analysis on pain treatment satisfaction among Chinese patients with chronic pain: predictors and association with medical adherence, disability, and quality of life

Abstract

Distinct trajectories in pain treatment satisfaction were displayed in the current sample of Chinese patients with different disability grading chronic pain. Within pain treatment, only medication characteristics significantly impacted patients' medical adherence.

Psychometric evaluation of a multi‐dimensional measure of satisfaction with behavioral interventions

“…As hypothesized, the associations between satisfaction with treatment process attributes and adherence were statistically significant and slightly larger than the associations between satisfaction with treatment process attributes and perceived insomnia severity at post‐test; compared to satisfaction with process attributes, satisfaction with outcome attributes was more highly associated with perceived insomnia severity at post‐test. These findings are comparable to those reported by others (Barbosa et al, ; Fontana et al, ; George & Robinson, ; Smith et al, ; Wong et al, ) and support the construct validity of the MDTSM subscales.…”

“…Construct validity was determined by examining if the items comprising a subscale loaded on one factor reflecting the respective treatment attribute and investigating the association of the MDTSM subscales with two conceptually related variables—treatment adherence and treatment outcome (e.g., Peyrot & Rubin, ; Rejas et al, ; Schulte et al, ; Tierney & Kane, ). Specifically, it was hypothesized that satisfaction with treatment process attributes would be more highly correlated with adherence, whereas satisfaction with treatment outcome attributes would be more highly associated with the outcome (i.e., perceived insomnia severity) measured at post‐test, as implied by recent findings (Barbosa et al, ; Fontana et al, ; George & Robinson, ; Kendra et al, ; Smith et al, ; Wong et al, ).…”

Role of kinesiophobia on pain, disability and quality of life in people suffering from chronic musculoskeletal pain: a systematic review

“…Wong et al 30 reported that baseline kinesiophobia significantly predicted positive changes in pain severity at 6 months, even when adjusted for sociodemographic factors and pain variables (number, duration and intensity). Van den Houte et al 32 did not report the predictive value of kinesiophobia on pain severity.…”

“…Wong et al 30 reported that greater degree of kinesiophobia at baseline significantly predicted lower levels of quality of life at 6 months, even after being adjusted for sociodemographic factors and pain variables (number, duration and intensity). However, the relationship was only significant with respect to physical function.…”

“…In this regard, a large body of evidence has reported that kinesiophobia is associated with disability,25 pain,26–28 and quality of life 29. Furthermore, longitudinal studies have shown that high levels of kinesiophobia at baseline, predict negative changes in quality of life,30 and positive changes in disability,31 and pain 30 32. However, the evidence is inconsistent regarding the strength of the significance and the direction of the findings 33–37.…”
