Health-related guilt in chronic primary pain: A systematic review of evidence

CONCLUSIONS: The findings demonstrate that health-related guilt is an important psychological factor associated with more pain and poorer function in people with chronic primary pain conditions. Future research should examine health-related guilt as a potential mediating/moderating factor leading to more distress and suffering in this population and as a potential target for interventions.PMID:33949061 | DOI:10.1111/bjhp.12529
