| Description | Journal: The Clinical journal of pain Perceived injustice has been identified as an important risk factor for pain-related outcomes. To date, research has shown that pain acceptance and anger are mediators of the association between perceived injustice and pain-related outcomes. However, a combined conceptual model that addresses the interrelationships between these variables is currently lacking. Therefore, the current study aimed to examine the potential mediating roles of pain acceptance and anger on the association between perceived injustice and adverse pain-related outcomes (physical function, pain intensity, opioid use status). This cross-sectional study used a sample of 354 patients with chronic pain being treated at a tertiary pain treatment center. Participants completed measures of perceived injustice, pain acceptance, anger, physical function, pain intensity and opioid use status. Mediation analyses were used to examine the impact of pain acceptance and anger on the association between perceived injustice and pain-related outcomes. Examination of the specific indirect effects revealed that pain acceptance fully mediated the relationship between perceived injustice and physical function, as well as the relationship between perceived injustice and opioid use status. Pain acceptance emerged as a partial mediator of the relationship between perceived injustice and pain intensity. This is the first study to provide a combined conceptual model investigating the mediating roles of pain acceptance and anger on the relationship between perceived injustice and pain outcomes. Based on our findings, low levels of pain acceptance associated with perceived injustice may help explain the association between perceived injustice and pain outcomes. Clinical and theoretical implications are discussed. |
