“…Importantly, this association was observed even after controlling for depressed affect, challenging the proposition that the apparent association between binge eating and avoidant coping is due to the confounding of avoidant coping and depression (e.g., Paxton & Diggens, 1997). Notably, distraction was the only variable in the current study that demonstrated a link with next-day binge eating, which could be considered a more robust test of causality because of the reduced risk of temporal overlap between the independent and dependent variables (e.g., Porter et al, 2000). As hypothesized, less Step 2 RS À.007 .018 À.006 .015…”

“…Increased hospital services utilization has also been linked with maladaptive coping (Gil et al, 1989), somatization (typically defined as “medically unexplained symptoms”) (Sogutlu et al, 2011), somatic awareness (i.e. perception of minor bodily experiences) (McCrae and Lumley, 1998), and negative affect (NA) (McCrae and Lumley, 1998; Porter et al, 2000); positive mood has been associated with less utilization (Gil et al, 2004). Although stress was linked with hospital services use in one study (Porter et al, 2000), others failed to support this relationship (Gil et al, 2004; Porter et al, 1998).…”

Similarly, no association was found between catastrophizing and utilization (Citero Vde et al, 2007) or between depression (Grant et al, 2000; Levenson et al, 2008) or anxiety (Levenson et al, 2008) and health-care use in adults with SCD.…”

Psychological aspects and hospitalization for pain crises in youth with sickle-cell disease

Sickle-cell disease is a genetic disorder characterized by severe pain episodes or “vaso-occlusive crises” that may require hospitalization. This study examined the associations among emotion regulation, somatization, positive and negative affect, and hospitalizations for pain crises in youth with sickle-cell disease. Multivariate analyses indicated that emotional suppression and somatization were significantly associated with more frequent hospitalizations for pain crises in the previous year after controlling for sickle-cell disease type and pain. These results suggest that efforts to reduce emotional suppression and somatization may assist in decreasing the frequency of hospitalizations for pain crises among youth with sickle-cell disease.

“…Positive affect improves resilience in managing chronic pain [28, 29]. Furthermore, positive affect may mitigate the detrimental effects of negative affect on pain [21, 30–32]. The temporal stability of affect (stable vs. state) may also influence the experience of pain [18].…”

AbstractBackground and aimsSex differences in clinical pain severity and response to experimental pain are commonly reported, with women generally showing greater vulnerability. Affect, including state (a single rating) and stable (average daily ratings over two weeks) positive affect and negative affect has also been found to impact pain sensitivity and severity, and research suggests that affect may modulate pain differentially as a function of sex. The current study aimed to examine sex as a moderator of the relationships between affect and pain-related outcomes among participants with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).MethodsOne hundred and seventy-nine participants (59 men) with KOA completed electronic diaries assessing clinical pain, positive affect, and negative affect. A subset of participants (n = 120) underwent quantitative sensory testing, from which a single index of central sensitization to pain was derived. We used multiple regression models to test for the interactive effects of sex and affect (positive versus negative and stable versus state) on pain-related outcomes. We used mixed effects models to test for the moderating effects of sex on the relationships between state affect and pain over time.ResultsSex differences in affect and pain were identified, with men reporting significantly higher stable positive affect and lower central sensitization to pain indexed by quantitative sensory testing, as well as marginally lower KOA-specific clinical pain compared to women. Moreover, there was an interaction between stable positive affect and sex on KOA-specific clinical pain and average daily non-specific pain ratings. Post hoc analyses revealed that men showed trends towards an inverse relationship between stable positive affect and pain outcomes, while women showed no relationship between positive affect and pain. There was also a significant interaction between sex and stable negative affect and sex on KOA-specific pain such that men showed a significantly stronger positive relationship between stable negative affect and KOA-specific pain than women. Sex did not interact with state affect on pain outcomes.ConclusionsFindings suggest that men may be particularly sensitive to the effects of stable positive affect and negative affect on clinical pain. Future work with larger samples is needed in order to identify potential mechanisms driving the sex-specific effects of affect on pain.ImplicationsThe current study provides novel data that suggesting that the association of positive affect, negative affect, and pain are different in men versus women with KOA. Further understanding of the difference in affective expression between men and women may lead to the development of novel therapeutic interventions and help to identify additional modifiable factors in the prevention and management of pain.
