Psychiatric morbidities, sleep disturbances, suicidality, and quality-of-life in a community population with medically unexplained pain in Korea

Physical Pain in Alcohol-Dependent Patients Entering Treatment in Poland—Prevalence and Correlates

“…The findings that higher rates of physical pain in our study group were associated with more severe sleep problems and general psychopathology are not surprising and are consistent with other research findings (Barry et al, 2012;Park et al, 2012;Subramaniam et al, 2013). However, the significance and novelty of our finding once again apply to the characteristics of our study group.…”

“…Also, the relationship between pain and other predictors of alcohol relapse (sleep problems, general psychopathology, severity of alcohol dependence, impulsivity) (Boschloo et al, 2012;Bottlender & Soyka, 2005;Brower, 2003;Loree et al, 2015) has not been well studied in alcohol-dependent individuals. However, other research findings (Barry et al, 2012;Moore et al, 2009;Park et al, 2012;Subramaniam et al, 2013) confirm associations between these variables and pain. Given the specific importance of sleep problems, impulsivity, and general psychopathology in alcohol dependence, it is important to investigate their associations with pain in alcohol-dependent subjects.…”

Adult attachment insecurity is positively associated with medically unexplained chronic pain

“…McWilliams and Bailey, 2010), this study examined the possibility that attachment insecurity may also be associated with past-year MUCP. The low prevalence estimate of MUCP obtained in this study is highly consistent with the finding of the other study that directly examined the prevalence of past-year MUCP in a community sample (Park et al, 2012). The prevalence rate and 95% confidence interval suggest that MUCP is experienced by < 3% of the general population over the course of a year, at least in the United States.…”

A longitudinal study of risk factors for suicide attempts among Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans

“…In addition to PTSD, several other psychiatric disorders, including depression (e.g., McLean et al., ), anxiety disorders (e.g., Pfeiffer, Ganoczy, Ilgen, Zivin, & Valenstein, ), and alcohol use disorder (AUD; e.g., Maguen et al., ) have been linked to elevated suicide risk among veterans. Somatoform symptoms have also been linked to suicide risk among community samples (e.g., de Klerk et al., ; Park et al., ; Wiborg et al., ), but have received less attention among veterans. Further, functional impairment has been closely linked with suicidal behavior among community samples (e.g., Kaplan, McFarland, Huguet, & Newsom, ), but has received less attention among veteran samples.…”

“…In addition to PTSD, several other psychiatric disorders, including depression (e.g., McLean et al, 2017), anxiety disorders (e.g., Pfeiffer, Ganoczy, Ilgen, Zivin, & Valenstein, 2009), and alcohol use disorder (AUD; e.g., Maguen et al, 2015) have been linked to elevated suicide risk among veterans. Somatoform symptoms have also been linked to suicide risk among community samples (e.g., de Klerk et al, 2011;Park et al, 2012;Wiborg et al, 2013), but have received less attention among veterans.…”
