Abstract
Objective:
To review the current literature on the relation between religiosity-spirituality and health outcomes in chronic pain populations, to discuss the clinical implications of this research, and to provide suggestions for future studies.
Conclusions:
Additional religion-spirituality research and clinical intervention with chronic pain populations is warranted for several reasons. First, many persons with chronic pain use religious and spiritual beliefs and activities to cope with pain. Second, a relation between religion-spirituality and various health outcomes has been documented. Third, there is a lack of research on potential mediators of the relation between religion-spirituality and health in chronic pain populations. Fourth, well-designed spiritual or religious behavioral interventions for patients with chronic pain are sparse.
