An Examination of Psycho-Behavioral Risk and Resilience in People with Chronically Painful Knee Osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic condition that often results in high levels of pain severity and functional impairment. People with chronic pain tend to have poor sleep and are at greater psychological risk for experiencing persistent negative mood states. Additionally, measurements of psychological resilience also tend to be lower in people with knee OA. However, there are still mixed findings within the literature as to the exact relationships between psychological risk/resilience, sleep quality, pain and functioning in people with chronic pain.
