| Abstract [eng] |
Migraine is a complex and common disorder that affects all areas of life. In order to better understand what helps people live with and manage migraine pain. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of migraine on functioning, pain coping strategies, self-compassion among women. The study included women with migraine, aged 18 to 65 years. Participants were recruited from social media groups, the basis of which was people suffering from migraine and chronic pain. Instruments used: Migraine disability assessment, Pain Coping Inventory, Self-Compassion Scale and sociodemographic questionnaire. The results obtained indicate that the use of prescription medications, less migraine pain, and better health assessment predict less negative impact of migraine on women's daily functioning. The impact of migraine on daily functioning was greater in women with migraine, who mainly used pain transformation coping and experienced more anxiety during pain. As migraines limited daily functioning more, women were more likely to overidentify. Greater self-compassion was associated with more frequent use of attentional diversion and less anxiety responses to pain. The results suggest that it is worth examining these mechanisms to better understand migraine-related functioning. |
