Trait mindfulness has been found to be inversely associated with emotional distress such as depression and anxiety among patients suffering from pain. The current study investigated the putative mechanisms underlying these associations by examining whether pain catastrophizing mediates the association between mindfulness and psychological distress and whether this model differs in patients suffering from chronic pain compared to patients experiencing nonchronic pain in a medical rehabilitation setting.

疼痛灾难性调节介导了慢性疼痛综合征的正念与心理困扰之间的关系。

已发现特质正念与遭受痛苦的患者的情绪困扰（例如抑郁和焦虑）呈反比关系。当前的研究通过检查疼痛灾难性疾病是否介导了正念与心理困扰之间的关联以及这种模型在患有慢性疼痛的患者与在医疗康复环境中经历非慢性疼痛的患者之间是否存在差异，从而调查了这些关联的潜在机制。
