Authors
Luo Y, Li S, Feng L, Zheng J, Peng C, Bao LAbstract
The fear of pain (FOP) and fear avoidance belief (FAB) play a crucial role in the occurrence and development of chronic pain. However, the dynamics of these factors in postsurgical pain appear to differ, with the FOP often learned from others rather than directly caused by painful experiences. Psychological resilience refers to an individual’s capacity to adapt effectively to adversity, challenges, and threats, and may play a significant role in overcoming the FOP and avoidance behavior.
