Chronic pain-related research has increased substantially during the last decade. However, empirical studies addressing mental health interventions to increase self-efficacy and reduce functional impairments is limited. This study investigated whether better functional outcomes (physical and psychosocial daily functioning) and greater self-efficacy among persons with chronic pain is associated with mindfulness, psychological flexibility, and emotional intelligence (N = 148). Two multiple regression analyses, each controlling for demographic factors, indicated that psychological flexibility predicted both daily functioning and self-efficacy, and emotional intelligence predicted self-efficacy among chronic pain clients. Mental health benefits of psychological flexibility and emotional intelligence can therefore potentially be used by psychotherapists to help boost clients’ positive beliefs in, and ability to function with, chronic pain.

正念、心理灵活性和情商对慢性疼痛患者自我效能和功能结果的影响

在过去十年中，与慢性疼痛相关的研究大幅增加。然而，关于通过心理健康干预来提高自我效能和减少功能障碍的实证研究是有限的。本研究调查了慢性疼痛患者更好的功能结果（身体和社会心理日常功能）和更高的自我效能是否与正念、心理灵活性和情商有关（N = 148）。两个多元回归分析，每个都控制人口因素，表明心理灵活性预测日常功能和自我效能感，而情商预测慢性疼痛患者的自我效能感。
