“…Therefore, there is sufficient evidence to support this assumption. The results of this study are almost consistent with the studies of Raiisi et al [18] , Ghasemi et al [19] , and Fisher et al [20] . In explaining this finding, we can say that mental and cognitive factors always play a role in perceiving pain.…”

“…For example, a study showed, that anxiety about pain and its symptoms are related to psychological constructs such as pain perception and mental pain [18] . Another study indicated the correlation between pain anxiety and pain catastrophizing in patients with COVID-19 [19] . A systematic review showed; significant positive correlations with pain anxiety, pain catastrophizing subscales, and fear of pain in children and adolescents with chronic pain [20] .…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the prediction of pain catastrophizing based on pain anxiety symptoms and cognitive flexibility in cancer patients Method and Materials: In this cross-sectional study all cancer patients in Tehran in 2021-22 were the target population. Among this population 250 cancer patients were selected via candidate and at reach sampling method. Then the selected patients completed the Paknejad et al.`s Pain Anxiety Symptoms (2014), Sullivan et al. `s Pain Catastrophizing Pain (1995), and Dennis et al.`s (2010) Cognitive Flexibility Questionnaire. For data analysis, Pearson correlation and step by step regression analysis were used. Data were analyzed by SPSS-24.Findings: There was a relationship between cognitive flexibility and pain anxiety symptoms with pain catastrophizing (P0.01>). The relationship between pain catastrophizing with pain anxiety symptoms was positive. However, there was a negative relationship between pain catastrophizing and cognitive flexibility. Moreover, catastrophizing pain could be predicted based on anxiety symptoms and cognitive flexibility. Conclusion: To conclude, it seems in cancer patients some cognitive factors have important roles in pain catastrophizing as pain anxiety symptoms and cognitive flexibility.

“…Harassment of pain clinic staff is problematic partly due to the opioid misuse crisis (8,9,11), which has been further complicated by the recent pandemic (9,10,18). Socioeconomic challenges, racism, or societal issues may also contribute to the problem of healthcare staff harassment (16,19,20).…”

Background: Patients with chronic pain often experience psychological issues. They may also exhibit harassing behaviors toward healthcare staff. This complex sociomedical issue necessitates increased attention. Objectives: This study analyzed incidents of staff harassment caused by chronic pain patients. It examined the characteristics of chronic pain patients who harassed clinic staff, as well as the causative or associated factors. The study also explored the management and outcomes of these harassment incidents. Methods: This prospective observational study involved 1102 chronic pain patients who received treatment at a pain clinic. Data were prospectively collected on patients' gender, age, ethnicity, occupation, injury insurance claims, and incidents of staff harassment caused by patients. Results: Pain clinic staff were harassed by 121 patients (11 %). Among the harassers, females constituted 70.2 % and males 29.8 %. Additionally, 50.4 % of the harassers were unemployed, with unemployed patients causing more staff harassments (P = 0.001). A significant portion, 86 %, of the harassers had injury insurance claims and were associated with a higher incidence of staff harassments (P = 0.002). Patients making disability insurance claims also caused more staff harassments (P = 0.001). Among the harassers, 50.4 % demanded higher drug doses, and 50 % did not have regular primary healthcare providers. The types of harassment included insults (34.7 %), threats (19.8 %), retaliations (3.3 %), and sexual harassment (42.2 %). All cases of sexual harassment were addressed; the patients involved were counseled. Most harassment incidents were resolved through tactful communication. Of the harassers, 9.9 % were discharged from the clinic. Conclusions: Harassment of pain clinic staff by chronic pain patients is significant. This sociomedical issue may be worsening due to factors such as opioid misuse, racism, the pandemic, and socioeconomic challenges. While most chronic pain patients are reasonable, some can be challenging. This study confirmed that the majority of patients who harassed staff were female, unemployed, had made injury insurance claims, and demanded higher drug doses. Abusive patients should receive anxiolytic therapy, behavioral boundaries, counseling, distraction therapy, and empathy. Pain clinics should implement staff training and support programs to protect staff from harassment. Additionally, pain clinicians should establish peer support networks to mitigate the psychological impacts of patient aggression and maintain professional well-being.
