“…Further research is needed to validate the findings in larger sample sizes and to test the buffering function of optimism in everyday pain and in clinical populations. By developing preventive or therapeutic interventions which focus on subgroups at risk, optimism-fostering visualization techniques, which have been shown to lead to longer-term benefits when applied repeatedly ( Peters et al, 2017 ; Molinari et al, 2018 for preliminary evidence in fibromyalgia patients; Malouff and Schutte, 2017 ; Carrillo et al, 2019 for meta-analyses), could become an important complement to existing cognitive-behavioral and other approaches.…”

The Effect of Induced Optimism on Situational Pain Catastrophizing

BackgroundThere is broad evidence that optimism is associated with less pain, while pain catastrophizing leads to increased pain. The aim of this study was to examine whether experimentally induced optimism can reduce situational pain catastrophizing and whether this relation is moderated by dispositional optimism and/or dispositional pain catastrophizing.MethodsSituational pain catastrophizing during two thermal stimulations was measured in 40 healthy participants with the Situational Catastrophizing Questionnaire (SCQ). Between the two stimulations, the Best Possible Self (BPS) imagery and writing task was performed to induce situational optimism in the experimental group while the control group wrote about their typical day. Questionnaires were administered to assess dispositional optimism [Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R)] and dispositional pain catastrophizing [Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS)].ResultsThere was a significant interaction between the optimism induction and trait pain catastrophizing: the association of trait pain catastrophizing with state pain catastrophizing was weakened after the optimism induction. No overall effect of induced optimism on situational pain catastrophizing and no significant moderating influence of trait optimism were found.ConclusionThe state optimism induction apparently counteracted the manifestation of dispositional pain catastrophizing as situational pain catastrophizing. This implies that high trait pain catastrophizers may have especially benefitted from the optimism induction, which is in line with resilience models stressing the buffering role of optimism.

“…For example, interventions encouraging positive thinking in people with fibromyalgia supported by online web-based platforms are being developed. The use of automated short message services (SMS) has also been developed to provide professional support and encourage exercise in fibromyalgia patients ( Quero et al, 2012 ; Baños et al, 2014 ; Botella et al, 2016 ; Molinari et al, 2017 ; Molinari et al, 2018 ).…”

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition characterized by generalized musculoskeletal pain, hyperalgesia and allodynia, commonly associated with other symptoms such as fatigue, poor sleep quality, anxiety and depression. The clinical manifestations of this rheumatic disease have significant psychosocial and economic repercussions, with a substantial impact on health status, quality of life and social activities. Currently, recommendations for the management of fibromyalgia include patient education and non-pharmacological interventions, and among the indicated treatments, clinical guidelines include several physiotherapeutic resources, essential for individuals affected by this syndrome. Research in the physiotherapy field has demonstrated its effectiveness, but there is a need to update the literature. This study aims to identify the effectiveness of physiotherapy in the treatment of individuals with fibromyalgia. We performed a literature review looking for articles dated from March 2012 to March 2022 using the terms “fibromyalgia”, “physiotherapy”, “physical therapy”, “rehabilitation” in different languages in various databases and their main information was read and collected and presented in a descriptive way. The effects of physiotherapy interventions are summarized in order to provide a reference for future research and clinical application. Research on non-pharmacological physiotherapy-oriented treatments has grown in recent years as an alternative for fibromyalgia treatment. This review allows fibromyalgia patients to receive appropriate physical therapy interventions to promote their health.

“…El bienestar subjetivo a lo largo del ciclo vital, ha sido relacionado con el cumplimiento de las necesidades básicas y la mayor presencia de apoyo social; reconociendo que, aunque hay diferencias culturales, este bienestar subjetivo suele predecir una mejor percepción de salud y longevidad (Diener 2012). Los modelos psicoterapéuticos en América Latina, así como los de atención centrados en la persona y las reflexiones sobre la necesidad de una ética del cuidado (Baars, Dohmen, Grenier y Phillipson, 2013;Fernández-Álvarez 2017;Villar & Serrat 2017), han posicionado la necesidad de cuestionar la perspectiva individualista de desarrollo humano. La visión de persona como responsable única de su bienestar o su posible autorrealización, se trasciende para recontextualizar la historia sociopolítica, la trayectoria de vida, la convivencia multigeneracional, la interacción en esferas de desarrollo múltiples (familia, comunidad, sociedad, ecosistemas) (Kaplan, Sánchez y Hoffman 2017); y la interdependencia con las otras personas, como ejes esenciales para la co-construcción de un bienestar subjetivo y psicosocial que incorpore todas las edades (Syed y McLean 2018).…”

El objetivo de este artículo es sistematizar y analizar algunas experiencias internacionales de convivencia intergeneracional y sus incipientes reportes de impacto, reconociendo la escasa literatura científica disponible, la necesidad de mayor investigación con rigurosidad metodológica y visión longitudinal, así como la ausencia de una indagación del impacto desde la experiencia subjetiva. Se revisaron programas de cohabitación intergeneracional de España, Francia, Estados Unidos e Israel, aclarando en el estado de la cuestión, la escasez de reportes en otras regiones. Los resultados del análisis identifican, como variables constitutivas de estas experiencias, su estructura, frecuencia de contacto, normas de interacción, comunicación o convivencia, cercanía emocional, intercambio recíproco de apoyos, confianza, expectativa de que el apoyo estará disponible cuando se requiere y apertura emocional. Como conclusión, se propone la necesidad de trascender la visión de la convivencia intergeneracional como meta en el corto plazo, para fomentar la solidaridad intergeneracional como soporte social a largo plazo, así como desarrollar líneas de investigación en el tema.
