Brief Summary:
Research on self-compassion suggests its impact in the context of pain In the current study the investigators evaluate a short self-compassion intervention for coping with acute pain
Detailed Description:
Self-compassion comprises three components self-kindness common humanity and mindfulness Empirical evidence shows the relevance of self-compassion in the context of negative emotions such as depression anxiety and anger Research on chronic pain is promising yet limited Self-compassion is associated with better pain-coping pain-acceptance and quality of life as well as reduced pain-related disability and burdening emotions Experimental investigations on induced pain are missing The aim of the current study is to evaluate a short self-compassion intervention for pain
First a heat stimulus is induced to all participants which is to be tolerated as long as possible and evaluated in intensity and unpleasantness Next participants receive a coping-strategy which they are randomly assigned to Three different strategies are evaluated 1 self-compassion treating oneself with kindness while being mindfully aware of the painful stimulus 2 acceptance accepting the painful stimulus as well as pain-related thoughts not trying to change 3 distraction distracting oneself from the painful stimulus and trying not to perceive the pain or painful thoughts Participants practice the strategy with the painful heat stimulus three times Then they receive another heat stimulus which is to be tolerated as long as possible and evaluated During the next week participants obtain daily practices via e-mail for further fostering of the learned strategy Finally participants receive tolerate and evaluate pain again in the laboratory
