| Summary: | Chronic pain is the most common complaint in older people. Evidence indicates that spirituality is effective in pain management. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between pain self-efficacy and spirituality among older adults in Khorramabad, Iran. A significant positive correlation was observed between pain self-efficacy and spirituality (r = 0.31, p < .001). Spirituality, gender, education, and economic status explained 0.68 of the study population’s pain self-efficacy variance. Regarding the relationship between spirituality and pain self-efficacy, promoting spirituality can improve pain self-efficacy among older adults. |
