Recently, the research on pain-related disability has increasingly paid attention to the psychological and social factors that may influence the biological condition. In the current study, we aimed to explore attachment styles, self-esteem, and quality of life in individuals with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. Participants were 371 diagnosed women, with a mean age of 42.7 years (standard deviation = 10.6). The average number of years since diagnosis was 7.4 years (standard deviation = 2.4) years. To assess attachment, quality of life, and self-esteem, women responded, respectively, to the Relationship Questionnaire, the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Inventory. Our results showed that secure attachment relationships and high self-esteem represent protective factors for quality of life of women with fibromyalgia, while the contrary emerged for insecure attachments and low self-esteem. The understanding of the psychological components that contribute to fibromyalgia may improve the effectiveness of interventions.

纤维肌痛女性的成年依恋风格，自尊和生活质量

近来，关于疼痛相关的残疾的研究越来越关注可能影响生物学状况的心理和社会因素。在本研究中，我们旨在探讨诊断为纤维肌痛的个体的依恋风格，自尊和生活质量。参与者为371名经诊断的女性，平均年龄为42.7岁（标准差= 10.6）。自诊断以来的平均年数为7.4年（标准差= 2.4）年。为了评估依恋，生活质量和自尊心，妇女分别回答了关系问卷，世界卫生组织生活质量问卷和罗森伯格自尊量表。我们的结果表明，安全的依恋关系和较高的自尊心代表着纤维肌痛妇女生活质量的保护因素，而对不安全的依恋关系和低自尊心则相反。对有助于纤维肌痛的心理因素的理解可能会提高干预措施的有效性。
