Abstrakt: Background: The concurrent occurrence of chronic pain syndromes and depressive symptoms is a commonly observed phenomenon.The aim of the present study was to illuminate the mediating role of specific cognitive pain coping strategies as a connective link between pain and depression.
Methods: A total of 122 chronic and chronic recurrent simple back pain patients were examined in view of the connection between pain, cognitive pain coping strategies, and depression.
Results: The results of the path analysis support the assumption of a mediating effect of cognitive coping strategies between pain and depression (GFI = 0.99; AGFI = 0.96). It could be shown, that cognitive coping mediates the link between pain and depression in back pain patients.
Conclusion: The results give further support for the cognitive mediation hypothesis and enhance it by pointing out the role of specific pain-related cognitive appraisals.
