If one wants to treat not only sickness but also sick people, it is helpful to be aware not only of the somatic and psychological dimensions of a disease but also of the \"cultural\" dimension of a disease. Based on personal reflections and supplemented by a focused literature search this article provides insights into how cultural influences not only affect the experience of illness but also decide how an illness is dealt with individually and socially. Furthermore, it is shown that not only being sick but also the sick body can be understood in somatic, psychological and cultural dimensions and that a distinction must be made between the body as it physically is and as it is subjectively perceived. Finally, an insight into the complexity of the somatopsychic and psychosomatic interactions is provided in order to derivatively show how mental stress can lead to physical pain and physical pain can become a mental stressor.</p>","PeriodicalId":21572,"journal":{"name":"Schmerz","volume":" ","pages":"382-389"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139576693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The gold standard for tumor-associated chronic pain is multimodal therapy. Non-adherence causes high costs and may put patients at risk. The aim of this study was to investigate the adherence behavior and subjective treatment compliance of patients with tumor-associated chronic pain. The focus was on the patients' perspective.

Adherence factors known from previous research were reflected in the subjective perception of the group of patients with chronic pain after tumor diseases.
