Abstract

The objective was to evaluate the relationship between of self-efficacy expectations, psychological distress and coping strategies among subjects with fibromyalgia, given the physical and psychosocial components of pain, and specially the need to clarify the relationship between them in order to improve the adjustment to any chronic pain condition. One-hundred women diagnosed of fibromyalgia from the rehabilitation center at the Hospital Universitario Gregorio Maran?o?n de Madrid completed the following set of questionnaires, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Chronic Pain Coping Inventory (CPCI) and the Chronic Pain Self-efficacy Scale (CPSS). The results showed that self-efficacy was inversely correlated with psychological distress (anxiety and depression). Respect to coping strategies, task persistence was significantly related to expectations of self-efficacy, while this variable was inversely correlated with depression. A negative relation was found between guarding, resting and self-efficacy. These findings suggest that expectations of self-efficacy may have greater explanatory power over the use of positive coping strategies and correct emotional functioning in FMS patients.
