The IASP Pain Research Forum will host a virtual seminar with Emily Bartley, PhD,
University of Florida, US, who will discuss resilience factors and resilience-based interventions for pain. A Q&A session moderated by Afton Hassett, PsyD, University of Michigan, US, will follow the presentation.
Here is an abstract of the talk:
Research has traditionally focused on risk factors associated with chronic pain; however, evidence signifies that resilience plays an important role in reducing adverse pain outcomes and improving coping skills. While individuals differ in their pain experience, older adults are capable of maintaining adaptive functioning despite the burden of chronic pain. Unfortunately, therapeutic strategies that optimize personal sources of resilience among older adults have been understudied. This presentation will highlight data on resilience factors that mitigate the burden of chronic pain among older adults and provide evidence supporting the clinical utility of resilience-oriented interventions in pain treatment. Presentation of these data will serve as a discussion point for future directions of research to augment successful aging in the experience of pain.
