Pain Interference Across Chronic Pain Populations: Variability And Associated Psychosocial Processes, Stephanie Judge
Pain Interference Across Chronic Pain Populations: Variability And Associated Psychosocial Processes, Stephanie Judge
Theses and Dissertations--Psychology
Chronic pain is one of the most common health complaints, yet the limited effectiveness of existing treatment options suggests that chronic pain is still not fully understood. The goals of this study are to identify and organize well-established and emerging psychosocial factors associated with pain interference, clarify the nature of between- and within-diagnostic group differences in psychosocial and demographic factors associated with pain interference, and identify interactions among diagnostic and psychosocial factors associated with pain interference.
Community-dwelling participants (N = 284) completed a one-time survey which included demographic information, information about pain and diagnosis, and five existing measures that assess …
The Role Of Diaphragmatic Breathing In Self-Regulation Skills Training, Matthew E. B. Russell
The Role Of Diaphragmatic Breathing In Self-Regulation Skills Training, Matthew E. B. Russell
Theses and Dissertations--Psychology
A central component of many psychological interventions is breathing training. Breathing training protocols based on a mindfulness or a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) have demonstrated value in the management of psychological and medical ailments. Yet, despite the wealth of literature examining each approach, little direct comparison exists. An additional concern is the proliferation of smart phone health (mHealth) applications (apps) providing breathing training with little empirical evidence to support their clinical use. A possible explanation for the interest in breathing and mHealth apps is the growing body of literature indicating breathing training provides wide ranging health benefits through improved stasis …
Maintenance Of Positive Affect Following Pain In Younger And Older Adults, Ian Andres Boggero
Maintenance Of Positive Affect Following Pain In Younger And Older Adults, Ian Andres Boggero
Theses and Dissertations--Psychology
Socioemotional selectivity theory posits that as people age, they become motivated and successful at maximizing positive emotions and minimizing negative ones. Yet, 70% of older adults report physical pain, which is associated with negative affect. The strategies and resources that older adults use to maintain positive affect in the face of pain remain largely unknown. Specific positivity-enhancing strategies include recalling, recognizing, and responding to positive stimuli and prioritizing close over knowledgeable social partners. Executive functions (EF, i.e., task-switching, working memory, and inhibition) and heart rate variability (HRV) may be important resources for coping with pain. The current project used two …
Optimism And Pain Interference In Aging Women, Stephanie T. Judge
Optimism And Pain Interference In Aging Women, Stephanie T. Judge
Theses and Dissertations--Psychology
Pain interferes with people's daily lives and often limits the extent to which they can pursue goals and engages in activities that promote well-being. The present study test how optimism affects and is affected by pain interference and activity among older women. Every three months for two years, middle- and older-age women (N = 199) complete daily diaries at home for a seven-day period, reporting their daily pain, pain interference, and activity. Optimism was measured at baseline and end-of-study. Multilevel models test the between- and within-person relationships among pain, optimism, pain interference and activity. Pain best predicted pain interference …
Psychosocial Functioning In Adolescents With Temporomandibular Disorders, Monica L. Gremillion
Psychosocial Functioning In Adolescents With Temporomandibular Disorders, Monica L. Gremillion
Theses and Dissertations--Psychology
Psychosocial functioning is a key component of screening and treatment of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) in adults; however, psychosocial functioning in adolescents with TMD has received little empirical attention. The present study aims to examine group difference between adolescents and adults with TMD on pain and prominent psychosocial factors, such as anxiety, depression, and somatization, as well as to explore additional developmentally sensitive psychosocial factors that may be associated more with the adolescent TMD pain.
Participants included 35 adolescents aged 12-17 (M=14.89 years, SD=1.84) with TMD muscle pain who completed pain questionnaires and a comprehensive dental examination. Patients …
