- Abstract
Introduction: Research about perceived injustice (PI) in people with pain is expanding1. PI predicts adverse pain-related and disability outcomes2, and increases the risk of long-term opioid use potentially leading to side-effects3. Therefore, understanding PI in people with pain is necessary to target interventions and prevent pain chronicity. Methods: A systematic search was conducted. Two independent reviewers screened and evaluated the literature and extracted the data. Meta-analyses were performed for prevalence rates and factors associated with PI in people with pain. Results: Fifty-four studies were found eligible. Prevalence of PI ranged between 23-77% (I² = 99%). Significant associations were found with pain catastrophizing, posttraumatic stress, anger, anxiety, pain acceptance, depressive symptoms, kinesiophobia, academic functioning, disability, emotional functioning, pain interference, state anger, mental functioning, central sensitization, social functioning, physical functioning, pain perceptions, trait anger, pain intensity, and anger inhibition. Discussion: Prevalence was =33 in 75% of the studies. Considering PI in the treatment of people with pain is important due to its association with adverse pain, psychological, and quality of life characteristics. Process evaluation: This is the first systematic review estimating the prevalence and factors associated with PI. Methodologically, not all association measures (e.g., odds-ratios, beta-coefficients) could be included in the meta-analyses. Since we focussed on associations, we cannot draw any conclusions on causal interactions between PI and related factors in people with pain.
