Background: Chronic pain is a prevalent issue among adolescents, negatively impacting various aspects of their lives. To better understand the factors influencing adolescent pain, this study aimed to explore the predictive significance of maladaptive schemas concerning chronic pain.
Methods: 1,302 adolescents aged 12-21 years old were randomly selected from Shiraz, Iran, to participate in this study. Screening questions aligned with the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases were used to identify adolescents with chronic pain. The Young's Schema Questionnaire-Short Form was utilized to evaluate maladaptive schemas. Hierarchical logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the contributions of various variables in predicting chronic pain.
Results: The hierarchical logistic regression analysis revealed a significant contribution of the "Disconnection/Rejection" domain (OR = .997, p = 0.004) in predicting chronic pain. Additionally, maternal chronic pain (OR = 0.878, p = 0.008) was a predictor in this model.
Discussion: The results suggest that maternal chronic pain can be a predictor of chronic pain in adolescents. Furthermore, the "Disconnection/Rejection" domain was identified as a notable predictor of chronic pain in this age group.
