Journal ArticleDOI
Acceptance and values-based action in chronic pain: A study of treatment effectiveness and process.
TL;DR: Both acceptance of pain and values-based action improved, and increases in these processes were associated with improvements in the primary outcome domains.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of mindfulness in a contextual cognitive-behavioral analysis of chronic pain-related suffering and disability
TL;DR: Correlation analyses indicated that mindfulness was unrelated to age, gender, education, or chronicity of pain, but was significantly related to multiple measures of patient functioning, and accounted for significant variance in measures of depression, pain‐related anxiety; physical, psychosocial, and “other” disability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Processes of change in treatment for chronic pain: The contributions of pain, acceptance, and catastrophizing
TL;DR: Evaluating three proposed process variables that have garnered empirical support within chronic pain settings, namely: pain intensity, catastrophizing, and acceptance found that changes in both acceptance and catastrophization accounted for significant variance independent of, and larger than, that accounted for by change in pain intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Results provide further support for the 20‐item, two‐factor Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire and indicate that it is both theoretically and practically useful.
Journal ArticleDOI
The fear-avoidance model of chronic pain: Validation and age analysis using structural equation modeling
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors validated the predictive relationships of the multivariate cognitive-behavioral, fear-avoidance (FA) model using structural equation modeling and evaluated the factor structure of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), levels of pain-related fear, and fit of the FA model across three age groups: young ( or =55) adults.
