Abstract
Since 2009, there has been a growing trend in English-language scientific literature toward replacing the term chronic pain with persistent pain. This semantic shift is a clear statement of reversibility and indicates the possibility of pain change.
In 2022, the Tradop working group (Grup d’Abordatge Transdisciplinar del Dolor Persistent) was created within the CAMFIC Scientific Society (Catalan Society of Family and Community Medicine). Various associations of patients and family members affected by chronic pain felt challenged to learn that our group used persistent pain instead of chronic pain in courses, conferences, and publications. Given their discomfort, we initiated a collective reflection and an etymological, historical, and scientific investigation of the terms «chronic» and «persistent». This search led to the conclusion that the two terms are not equivalent and that the translation from English to Spanish has a different contextualization and applicability.
期刊介绍:
Atención Primaria es una revista que publica trabajos de investigación relativos al ámbito de la atención primaria de salud. Desde el punto de vista conceptual, Atención Primaria asume el nuevo modelo de atención primaria de salud, orientado no sólo a la curación de la enfermedad, sino también a su prevención y a la promoción de la salud, tanto en el plano individual como en el de la familia y la comunidad. En estos nuevos aspectos que definen el modelo de atención primaria de salud es en los que se centran los trabajos de investigación que publica Atención Primaria, la primera revista de originales española creada para recoger y difundir la producción científica realizada desde los centros de atención primaria de salud sobre cuestiones como protocolización de la asistencia, programas de prevención, seguimiento y control de pacientes crónicos, organización y gestión de la asistencia primaria, entre otros.
