Article Description

Chronic pain-related research has increased substantially during the last decade. However, empirical studies addressing mental health interventions to increase self-efficacy and reduce functional impairments is limited. This study investigated whether better functional outcomes (physical and psychosocial daily functioning) and greater self-efficacy among persons with chronic pain is associated with mindfulness, psychological flexibility, and emotional intelligence (N = 148). Two multiple regression analyses, each controlling for demographic factors, indicated that psychological flexibility predicted both daily functioning and self-efficacy, and emotional intelligence predicted self-efficacy among chronic pain clients. Mental health benefits of psychological flexibility and emotional intelligence can therefore potentially be used by psychotherapists to help boost clients’ positive beliefs in, and ability to function with, chronic pain.
