Abstract
Chronic low back pain is the second leading cause of disability in the United States, and it is often associated with severe fatigue. However, little is known about individual differences that may be related to poorer mental health and pain among individuals with severe fatigue and chronic low back pain. The aim of the current investigation was to explore the role of fatigue severity and fatigue sensitivity in terms of anxiety and depressive symptoms, pain catastrophizing, pain interference, and pain severity among 783 adults with severe fatigue and chronic low back pain. Results suggest that fatigue severity and fatigue sensitivity were statistically significant predictors for anxiety, depression, pain interference, and pain catastrophizing. However, only fatigue sensitivity significantly predicted pain severity. Overall, the current study provides initial support for the role of fatigue severity and fatigue sensitivity in the presence of mental and physical health complaints among individuals with severe fatigue and chronic low back pain.
期刊介绍:
Behavioral Medicine is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal, which fosters and promotes the exchange of knowledge and the advancement of theory in the field of behavioral medicine, including but not limited to understandings of disease prevention, health promotion, health disparities, identification of health risk factors, and interventions designed to reduce health risks, ameliorate health disparities, enhancing all aspects of health. The journal seeks to advance knowledge and theory in these domains in all segments of the population and across the lifespan, in local, national, and global contexts, and with an emphasis on the synergies that exist between biological, psychological, psychosocial, and structural factors as they related to these areas of study and across health states.
Behavioral Medicine publishes original empirical studies (experimental and observational research studies, quantitative and qualitative studies, evaluation studies) as well as clinical/case studies. The journal also publishes review articles, which provide systematic evaluations of the literature and propose alternative and innovative theoretical paradigms, as well as brief reports and responses to articles previously published in Behavioral Medicine.
