虽然社会支持与慢性疼痛患者的心理困扰之间存在反比关系，但人们对这种关联的中介机制知之甚少。我们检验了正念作为社会支持和心理困扰之间关系的中介。在这项横断面研究中，慢性疼痛患者（N= 94）完成了社会支持、正念和心理困扰的评估。更多的社会支持与较少的心理困扰相关。更多的正念与更多的社会支持和更少的心理困扰有关。中介分析表明，正念在社会支持与心理困扰之间具有部分中介作用。研究结果支持并扩展了先前的研究，证明了正念对慢性疼痛患者的潜在重要调节作用。这表明社会支持和正念之间存在重要联系，在未来的行为干预中应考虑将它们整合到追求心理健康中。
Although an inverse relation between social support and psychological distress among chronic pain patients has been previously reported, little is known about what mediates this association. We examined mindfulness as a mediator of the relationship between social support and psychological distress. In this cross-sectional study, chronic pain patients (N= 94) completed assessments of social support, mindfulness, and psychological distress. Greater social support was associated with less psychological distress. Greater mindfulness was associated with greater social support and less psychological distress. Mediation analyses demonstrated that mindfulness partially mediated the relationship between social support and psychological distress. Findings support and extend prior research by demonstrating a potentially important mediating effect of mindfulness within chronic pain patients. This suggests an important link between social support and mindfulness, and that their integration in the pursuit of mental health should be considered in future behavioral interventions.
