Résumé

Les stratégies d’ajustement mises en oeuvre par les patients atteints de douleurs chroniques jouent un rôle important sur leur vécu biopsychosocial. Cette recherche visait à confirmer la validité d’un outil de mesure de ces stratégies et à évaluer leur rôle sur l’ajustement de patients douloureux chroniques en termes d’intensité douloureuse ressentie et de détresse psychologique. Cent trente patients du centre de la douleur du CHU de La Timone (Marseille) ont complété un questionnaire comprenant le coping strategies questionnaire (CSQ), l’Hospital Anxiety and Depressions Scale et des questions relatives à l’intensité de la douleur. Les résultats ont permis de confirmer les valeurs psychométriques du CSQ. Plusieurs dimensions du CSQ permettent de prédire le niveau général de la douleur, l’anxiété et la dépression des patients. La prise en compte des stratégies d’ajustement des patients s’avère des plus heuristiques pour décrire la complexité de léxpérience douloureuse, mais aussi pour penser le dispositif de prise en charge.

Abstract

Coping strategies implemented by chronic pain patients play an important part in their biopsychosocial experience of life. This research aimed to confirm the validity of a coping scale and evaluate the role of different coping strategies in patient adjustment to intensity of pain and psychological distress. One hundred and thirty patients from the Pain Center of the University Hospital of ‘La Timone’ (Marseille) completed a questionnaire including the Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CSQ), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and some questions concerning the intensity of their pain. Results confirm the psychometric values of the French version of the CSQ. Several dimensions of the CSQ predict the general level of pain, anxiety and depression. Taking into account these strategies is a fruitful approach to describing the complexity of the pain experience and to thinking about how to deal with pain.
