Summary: | Self-management forms an essential part of the management of chronic pain. It affects approximately 7.8 million people in the United Kingdom, with older people more likely to live with chronic pain. In the United Kingdom, the National Health Service is committed to providing patient-centered care, which embraces the religious and spiritual needs of patients. This aspect of care is governed by uncertainty; there is a lack of understanding about the influence of religious faith on illness and no clear guidance on how faith needs are best addressed. This study explored the interrelationships between chronic pain and religious faith among older people. |
