The Impact of Sociodemographic Factors on Pain Resilience among Adults with Chronic Low Back Pain

Much chronic pain research is focused on psychosocial risk factors, but examination of the potential protective role of positive and adaptive factors, like pain resiliency, is critical. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of sociodemographic factors (i.e., racialized group) on pain resilience in adults with chronic low back pain (cLBP). Adults (n=192; 114 Black, 78 White, 109 female, 83 male, 45.5 ± 14.5 years of age) with cLBP completed questionnaires on pain resilience and overall pain and disability.
