Sensing the body matters: profiles of interoceptive sensibility in chronic pain adjustment.

Interoception is critical to health regulation and is often disrupted in individuals with chronic pain (ICPs). Interoceptive sensibility (IS)-the self-reported experience and relationship toward internal states-includes skills such as sensing, interpreting, and using bodily information for self-regulation. Current studies on IS and chronic pain (CP) adjustment are scarce, and how the interplay between different IS skills shapes CP adjustment remains unclear.

Helpful social support for chronic pain in long-term care residents: "With a little help I manage on my own".

Aims And Objectives: To understand older adults' experiences of receiving formal pain-related social support and to identify which caregivers' responses are perceived as (un)helpful to chronic pain adjustment.

Background: Chronic pain is highly prevalent in long-term care residents, negatively impacting their psychological, physical and social functioning. However, research has lacked to address the extent to which residents' experiences with staff responses, to their pain, may influence chronic pain outcomes.

Classism and dehumanization in chronic pain: A qualitative study of nurses' inferences about women of different socio-economic status.

Objectives: Class-based dehumanization in health is poorly investigated. Beliefs about social class are often shared across cultures, with people of lower socio-economic status (SES) being typically dehumanized. This study specifically examined how nurses' perceptions of pain patients' SES were associated with (more or less) dehumanizing inferences about their pain and different treatment recommendations.
