Abstract

Chronic pain is the most common complaint in older people. Evidence indicates that spirituality is effective in pain management. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between pain self-efficacy and spirituality among older adults in Khorramabad, Iran. A significant positive correlation was observed between pain self-efficacy and spirituality (r = 0.31, p < .001). Spirituality, gender, education, and economic status explained 0.68 of the study population’s pain self-efficacy variance. Regarding the relationship between spirituality and pain self-efficacy, promoting spirituality can improve pain self-efficacy among older adults. © 2020 Taylor & Francis.
