Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This cross-sectional study examines how social support influences pain intensity in 363 older adults with chronic pain, analyzing the mediating roles of positive and negative affect and pain catastrophizing. The results indicate that social support is negatively associated with pain intensity both directly and indirectly through these emotional and cognitive factors. The resource includes statistical findings from structural equation modeling and suggests that healthcare providers consider assessing social support alongside emotional regulation strategies.
