拉丁裔是美国人口中规模最大、增长最快的群体之一，他们受到健康差异（包括躯体健康问题）的严重影响。年轻的拉丁裔成年人（18-25 岁）受到此类健康不平等影响的风险更大，因此有必要了解可能导致和维持躯体症状的个体差异，包括疼痛体验、疼痛信念和健康认知。因此，当前的研究调查了拉丁裔大学生中担忧对疼痛强度、疼痛残疾、疼痛相关焦虑和感知健康之间关系的解释作用。参与者包括西南一所大型大学的 401 名拉丁裔学生（法师= 21 岁；SD= 2.02；83% 为女性）拉丁裔学生。结果表明，更大程度的担忧与疼痛强度、疼痛残疾、疼痛相关焦虑和感知健康水平降低有关。这些发现明显超出了性别、年龄、身体机能和主观社会地位造成的差异。总体而言，目前的调查结果表明，在经历较高程度的担忧的拉丁裔年轻人中，经历更严重的疼痛、对疼痛适应不良的信念以及对健康状况的看法更差的风险更大。
Latinx are one of the largest and most rapidly growing segments of the United States (U.S.) population that is significantly impacted by health disparities, including somatic health problems. Young Latinx adults (ages 18–25 years) are at a greater risk for being affected by such health inequalities and there is a need to understand individual-based differences that may contribute to and maintain somatic symptoms, including pain experience, pain beliefs, and perceptions of health. Thus, the current study investigated the explanatory role of worry in association between pain intensity, pain disability, pain-related anxiety, and perceived health among Latinx college students. Participants included 401 (Mage= 21 years;SD= 2.02; 83% female) Latinx students at a large, southwestern university. Results indicated that greater levels of worry were related to increased levels of pain intensity, pain disability, pain-related anxiety, and lower levels of perceived health. These findings were evident above and beyond variance accounted for by gender, age, physical functioning, and subjective social status. Overall, the results from the present investigation suggest that there is greater risk for more severe pain experiences, maladaptive beliefs regarding pain, and worse perceptions of health status among Latinx young adults who experience elevated levels of worry.
