| Abstract | Background Childhood abuse has been linked to poorer health outcomes in individuals with fibromyalgia (FM), and this relationship may be affected by cognitive processes such as pain catastrophizing and mindfulness. Objective This study investigated the impact of childhood abuse on pain-related symptoms and functioning in individuals with (FM) and examined how the critical psychosocial constructs of pain catastrophizing and mindfulness might moderate this relationship. We hypothesized that childhood abuse would be linked to greater physical symptoms and lower functioning, with pain catastrophizing and mindfulness influencing these associations. Methods The study sample consisted of 113 women with FM. Correlational analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between childhood abuse and health outcomes (pain severity, pain interference, fibromyalgia impact, and physical functioning). Moderation analyses were conducted to examine the impact of pain catastrophizing and mindfulness on the relationship between childhood abuse and health outcomes. Results As expected, catastrophizing was generally associated with elevated pain-related symptomatology and reduced functioning, and higher levels of mindfulness were associated with reduced pain impact. However, contrary to our hypothesis, childhood abuse was not directly associated with pain severity, pain interference, fibromyalgia impact, or physical functioning. Pain catastrophizing and mindfulness were significant moderators of the relationship between childhood abuse and health outcomes. Specifically, childhood abuse was related to higher pain interference only at low levels of catastrophizing and was associated with greater fibromyalgia impact and reduced physical functioning only at high levels of mindfulness. Conclusion Our findings suggest that while childhood abuse did not directly impact pain-related outcomes in this sample of fibromyalgia patients, cognitive factors like pain catastrophizing and mindfulness play significant roles in moderating these effects. These results underscore the importance of assessing for cognitive and psychological factors in the management of fibromyalgia, especially for patients with a history of childhood abuse. Further research is needed to explore these relationships in more diverse samples and to develop personalized and targeted interventions for this patient population. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
