“…There has been increasing evidence to support the importance of pain‐related psychosocial factors, such as low pain self‐efficacy, pain catastrophizing, and fear of movement, to poor pain and disability outcomes after traumatic orthopedic injury (Archer, Castillo, Wegener, Abraham, & Obremskey, ; Archer, Devin, et al, ; Castillo et al, ; Castillo, Wegener, Heins, et al, ; McCarthy et al, ; Nota, Bot, Ring, & Kloen, ). The Lower Extremity Assessment Project study first reported on the importance of low self‐efficacy (the patient's confidence in being able to resume life activities) to long‐term outcomes following traumatic lower‐extremity injury (Bosse et al, ), with more recent evidence supporting the association between self‐efficacy and pain at hospital discharge (Archer, Abraham, Song, & Obremskey, ). Archer et al and others have also found that patients who display pain catastrophizing behavior (tendency to focus on, ruminate, and magnify pain sensations) and/or fear of movement are at risk for more severe pain and disability up to 2 years after trauma (Archer, Abraham, & Obremskey, ; Archer, Abraham, et al, ; Nota et al, ; Vranceanu et al, ).…”
