“…Granot and colleagues 31 studied gender differences in chest pain perception and reported that women scored the intensity of their chest pain significantly higher than men. Gender differences in chronic pain and in pain distress measures have also been reported, 32,33 and both physiologic and psychological mechanisms for gender differences related to pain have been posed. The trend toward gender differences in postoperative pain reported by the ICD patients in this study mirror findings from other studies reporting the general differences in the way that men and women experience pain.…”

Gender differences in physical and psychological health and responses in persons receiving implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) have been reported but are not well delineated. This study examined symptoms of pain and sleep difficulties, functional status, and psychological responses in 180 (75%) men and 60 (25%) women before and immediately following their first ICD implantation. Women were significantly younger, less likely to be married, and had less history of coronary artery disease than men. Forty-eight percent of women were New York Heart Association class III-IV vs. 27% of men (p<0.05). Women had lower functional status and were more likely to report symptoms of increased pain severity and sleep difficulties. Differences in functional status and pain were reduced after adjusting for New York Heart Association class and age, respectively. There were no differences in depressive symptoms or anxiety. Clinical implications of gender-related responses include the need to address symptoms of heart failure as well as increased pain and sleep difficulties in women at the time surrounding ICD implantation. Longitudinal studies and gender-focused nursing interventions should be developed to promote better understanding of responses and to improve recovery outcomes for ICD patients.

“…Physical pain distress was assessed by administration of the 26-item Pain Distress Inventory (PDI; Osman et al, 2003), with the pain sensitivity subscale being used to assess self-perceived sensitivity to physical pain. While never before used in a study of self-harm, it has been used in community samples (Osman et al, 2005). Overall internal consistency for this sample was very good, α = .95, as was the case for the sensitivity subscale: α =94.…”

Hurting Inside and Out? Emotional and Physical Pain in Self-Harm Ideation and Enactment

Those who self-harm have been shown to be less sensitive to physical pain, but more sensitive to emotional pain, appearing to contradict social neuroscience research that suggests that individuals who are more sensitive to physical pain are also more sensitive to emotional pain. The current study investigated the relationship between self-reported emotional pain sensitivity and physical pain distress in those who think (ideate) about and engage in (enact) self-harm. A total of 351 healthy adults completed a battery of anonymous online questionnaires assessing emotional sensitivity, physical pain distress and sensitivity, and lifetime history of self-harm, as well as depressive symptoms, self-critical style, perfectionistic cognitions, and perfectionistic self-presentation. Emotional sensitivity and physical pain distress were higher in both the self-harm ideation and enactment groups than in controls and there was a significant ordered effect, such that the enactment group was more sensitive to emotional and physical pain than the ideation group. A similar significant ordered effect in physical pain sensitivity was observed only when controlling for previous suicide attempt. Within the ideation group, physical pain distress and self-critical style were the only factors significantly associated with emotional pain sensitivity, but only the presence of perfectionistic cognitions was significantly associated with emotional pain sensitivity in the enactment group. Taken together, the findings suggest an association between self-perceived emotional sensitivity and physical pain distress in self-harm ideation, but possibly a disconnection between self-perceived and behavioral sensitivity to physical pain in self-harm enactment. Furthermore, self-criticism and perfectionism may be differentially associated with emotional sensitivity in self-harm ideation and enactment.

“…PDI scores have predicted pain symptoms and have differentiated between clinic and nonclinic samples receiving treatment for medical or pain-related experiences (Osman, et al, 2003). The factorial structure of the PDI has been replicated in students and nonstudents and among African American and Caucasian young adults (Osman et al, 2005). Results of a second-order confirmatory factor analysis supported the construct validity of the total PDI score (Robust χ 2 = 74.18, Comparative Fit Index = .98).…”

“…Results of a second-order confirmatory factor analysis supported the construct validity of the total PDI score (Robust χ 2 = 74.18, Comparative Fit Index = .98). Total PDI score evinced moderate correlations (.45 to .72) with other pain-related measures and a coefficient alpha of .93 and .94 in two studies (Osman et al, 2005). Coefficient alpha among African American undergraduate and graduate students was .94 (Osman et al, 2005).…”

Coefficient alpha among African American undergraduate and graduate students was .94 (Osman et al, 2005). The PDI total score also exhibited convergent validity and when entered in regressions with several other validated pain measures was the only significant predictor of several pain indices such as pain intensity (Osman et al, 2005).…”

The authors tested whether coping styles and fear of pain mediate the relationship between positive affect and negative affect on one hand and pain-related distress (PD) on the other. Among African American and Caucasian female college students, negative affect, fear of pan, and emotion-oriented coping together accounted for 34% of the variance in PD among African American woman and 40% of the variance in PD among Caucasion women. Emotion-oriented coping and fear of pain fully mediated the relationship between negative affect and PD among Caucasian women and partly mediated the relationship between negative affect and PD among African American women. Results suggest that reducing college women's reliance on emotion-oriented coping and their fears of pain may help reduce PD.
