The present study investigated the relation of pain coping strategies to pain, health status, and psychological distress in a group of osteoarthritis patients with chronic knee pain. Fifty-one patients completed the Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CSQ), the McGill Pain Questionnaire, the Arthritis Impact Measurement Scale (AIMS), and the Symptom Checklist-90 Revised (SCL-90 R). Medical status variables included roentgenograph (x-ray) findings, obesity measures, disability status, and chronicity of pain. Factor analysis of the CSQ revealed two factors (Coping Attempts, Pain Control and Rational Thinking) that accounted for 60% of the variance in CSQ responses. Regression analyses controlling for demographic and medical variables identified the Pain Control and Rational Thinking factor as a significant predictor of the outcome measures. Patients scoring high on this factor had lower pain levels, better health status, and lower levels of psychological distress.
