Pain Catastrophizing Mediates the Association between Mindfulness and Psychological Distress in Chronic Pain Syndrome.
Abstract
Trait mindfulness has been found to be inversely associated with emotional distress such as depression and anxiety among patients suffering from pain. The current study investigated the putative mechanisms underlying these associations by examining whether pain catastrophizing mediates the association between mindfulness and psychological distress and whether this model differs in patients suffering from chronic pain compared to patients experiencing non-chronic pain in a medical rehabilitation setting.
