- A survey comprising more than 2000 patients visiting primary care units during a 2-week period in November 2008 was carried out in the county of Västernorrland, Sweden. The results show that approximately 18.5 % of the patients came on account of psychological ill health, either as sole reason (1.5%) or in combination with other cause(s). Roughly 14.7 % (309) of these scored higher or equivalent to clinically meaningful cut off scores on scales measuring anxiety, depression and exhaustion (burnout). An additional 322 of the remaining sample (27 % of the females and 16 % of the males) had high scores on scales measuring psychological ill health.

- The authors of this study addressed burnout experiences (generally defined as chronic depletion of an individual's energetic resources') over time in relation to other factors (e. g., distress, sleep difficulties, job demands, etc.) among foreign-born women and Swedish native women living in Stockholm. The study design was a longitudinal panel survey with two waves one year apart. In the first wave, 3,616 of 6,000 randomly selected women took part, and 2,300 of the initial 3,616 women also participated in the second wave; 427 were foreign-born women, and 1,873 were Swedish native women. Baseline/emerging distress, emerging sleep difficulties, worsening general social support, job demands at baseline/escalating during the assessment period, emerging unemployment, constraints in social support at work, and sustained/emerging financial strain were associated with future burnout, regardless of background. More foreign-born women than Swedish native women reported burnout, with these differences maintained at one-year follow-up. The factors related to burnout were largely the same in both groups, but smoking and cardiovascular disease were related to burnout only among foreign-born women. Younger age, job demands, and working hours were associated with burnout among Swedish native women. The authors found that the women had concurrent problems such as burnout, distress, and sleep problems, but foreign background was not independently related to burnout.

- Objectives: To identify/quantify predictors of QOL among women with pain over time. Methods: The study comprised 2,300 women aged 18-64 years with and without pain. A longitudinal panel survey with two waves of measurement, 1 year apart, by means of questionnaires was used. Multiple linear regression analyses were used to identify and quantify predictors of QOL. Results: After controlling for socio-demographics, physical health, and baseline pain parameters, QOL, psychological factors, and pain-related disability at base line, as well as their changer scores, predicted differential aspects of social, psychological, and physical QOL, respectively, over time. Aspects of social support were central for the social dimension of QOL and to a lower degree for the psychological dimension. Change scores of burnout and distress were related to all dimensions of QOL. Conclusions: QOL seems to be a rather stable characteristic influenced not only by pain but also related to psychosocial factors over time. Addressing such factors seems central in treatment interventions aiming at improving QOL among individuals with pain

- The understanding of the associations between psychosocial factors and persistent pain and their impact on the course of pain among women is crucial to identify risk populations and prevent long-term pain from developing. The aim of the study was to investigate the course of pain among women and the psychosocial factors associated with it. The study was a 1-year follow-up (FU) among 2,300 women in the general population of Sweden. Sociodemographic and psychosocial factors were analyzed in relation to the course of pain, assessed as the presence of pain during the last 3 months at baseline (BL) and at FU. Thirty-three percent of the women with no pain at BL and 77% of those with pain at BL reported pain at FU. Compared to the pain-free women, those who developed pain at FU reported lower social support and physical quality of life (QoL) and worse mental health. Women with sustained pain were older and reported worse mental health, lack of social support, and lower levels of QoL compared to those who recovered from pain. In the multiple logistic regression analyses, only post-traumatic stress symptoms were associated with the development of pain at FU. Number of pain locations and pain duration at BL and physical QoL were associated with sustained pain. Moreover, social support was identified as a protective factor against sustained pain. Pain is persistent or recurrent in a general female population. The results indicate that psychosocial factors do not work as primary predictors in the course of pain and might be better understood through indirect processes by limiting the individual's resources for handling pain in a functional manner.
