The Role of Subjective Well-Being in the Relationship Between Illness Invalidation, Acceptance, and Functioning in Fibromyalgia
Overview
This study investigates how subjective well-being mediates the relationship between illness invalidation, acceptance difficulties, and daily functioning in 148 women with fibromyalgia. The results indicate that higher levels of invalidation and lower acceptance are associated with reduced well-being, which subsequently correlates with poorer functioning. The authors suggest these factors as potential targets for patient-centered, acceptance-based interventions.
