Abstract
Objective: This study leverages natural language processing techniques to identify specific practices older adults with chronic pain adopt to enhance well-being.
Method: We applied network topic modeling to open-ended survey responses from 683 adults (57% female) who reported experiencing chronic pain in the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study, analyzing responses to the question "What do you do to make your life go well?" Structural equation modeling was used to examine the relationships between identified topics and measures of pain interference and prescription pain medication use, adjusting for sociodemographics and well-being indicators.
Results: The analyses revealed twelve key topics, including avoiding stress, maintaining social connections, and practicing spirituality and faith. Notably, maintaining social connections was negatively associated with pain interference (β = -0.14, SE = 0.05, p < 0.05) and prescription pain medication use (β = -0.11, SE = 0.04, p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The findings demonstrate the utility of network topic modeling in identifying complex psychosocial dimensions influencing chronic pain management, providing insights into the distinct role of well-being practices in shaping pain outcomes.
目的:本研究利用自然语言处理技术来确定患有慢性疼痛的老年人采取的具体做法,以提高幸福感。方法:我们将网络主题建模应用于683名成年人(57%为女性)在美国中年(MIDUS)研究中报告慢性疼痛的开放式调查回答,分析他们对“你做什么让你的生活变得美好?”使用结构方程模型来检查确定的主题与疼痛干扰措施和处方止痛药使用之间的关系,并根据社会人口统计学和福祉指标进行调整。结果:分析揭示了12个关键主题,包括避免压力,保持社会关系,实践精神和信仰。值得注意的是,维持社会联系与疼痛干扰(β = -0.14, SE = 0.05, p < 0.05)和处方止痛药使用(β = -0.11, SE = 0.04, p < 0.05)呈负相关。结论:研究结果表明,网络主题建模在识别影响慢性疼痛管理的复杂心理社会维度方面的效用,为健康实践在塑造疼痛结果方面的独特作用提供了见解。
