Abstract
Individuals with chronic pain frequently experience emotional distress, negative beliefs, functional limitations, and poor sense of control. Grit, the ability to persist toward goals through passion and perseverance, has been linked to enhanced coping in chronic medical conditions but has received limited attention in the context of chronic pain. This cross-sectional study evaluated the relationship of grit to adjustment in participants with chronic pain (N = 58). Controlling for pain severity, conscientiousness, and neuroticism, greater grit was associated with lower pain catastrophizing (p = .000) and pain interference (p = .02) and greater life control (p = .02); grit was not significantly related to pain distress (p = .07). Prospective, longitudinal research on the relationship between grit and pain outcomes is warranted.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Clinical Psychology in Medical Settings is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed original papers related to all areas of the science and practice of psychologists in medical settings. Manuscripts are chosen that have a broad appeal across psychology as well as other health care disciplines, reflecting varying backgrounds, interests, and specializations. The journal publishes original research, treatment outcome trials, meta-analyses, literature reviews, conceptual papers, brief scientific reports, and scholarly case studies. Papers accepted address clinical matters in medical settings; integrated care; health disparities; education and training of the future psychology workforce; interdisciplinary collaboration, training, and professionalism; licensing, credentialing, and privileging in hospital practice; research and practice ethics; professional development of psychologists in academic health centers; professional practice matters in medical settings; and cultural, economic, political, regulatory, and systems factors in health care. In summary, the journal provides a forum for papers predicted to have significant theoretical or practical importance for the application of psychology in medical settings.
