Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the level of anxiety and depression and the intensity of pain in patients with chronic non-malignant pain, the correlation of catastrophizing with these factors, and the interaction of a multidisciplinary program for the treatment of chronic pain and the level of catastrophizing, anxiety, depression and pain intensity. The study was conducted on a sample of 44 participants aged 32 to 80 years who participated in the multidisciplinary program for chronic pain management at the Institute for Pain Management of the Clinical Medical Center Osijek. Pain intensity was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS); the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) was used to measure anxiety and depression; while catastrophizing was measured using the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS). There was a moderate positive correlation between anxiety, depression, and pain intensity in patients with chronic non-malignant pain; a positive correlation between anxiety, depression, pain intensity, and catastrophic factors; and a reduction of anxiety, depression, pain intensity and catastrophization at the end of a multidisciplinary chronic pain treatment program. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the relation between emotional distress, cognitions and pain intensity in patients with chronic non-malignant pain.

慢性非恶性疼痛患者的灾难、焦虑和抑郁

本研究的目的是确定慢性非恶性疼痛患者的焦虑、抑郁水平和疼痛强度，灾难化与这些因素的相关性，以及慢性疼痛治疗的多学科项目与灾难化、焦虑、抑郁和疼痛强度水平的相互作用。这项研究的样本是44名年龄在32岁到80岁之间的参与者，他们参加了临床医学中心奥西耶克疼痛管理研究所的慢性疼痛管理多学科项目。采用视觉模拟量表(VAS)测量疼痛强度;采用抑郁、焦虑和压力量表(DASS-21)测量焦虑和抑郁;灾难化程度采用疼痛灾难化量表(PCS)进行测量。慢性非恶性疼痛患者的焦虑、抑郁与疼痛强度存在中度正相关;焦虑、抑郁、疼痛强度与灾难性因素呈正相关;在多学科慢性疼痛治疗项目结束时减少焦虑，抑郁，疼痛强度和灾难化。研究结果有助于更好地理解慢性非恶性疼痛患者的情绪困扰、认知和疼痛强度之间的关系。
