- The objective of the study was to examine differences between 65 Turkish and 446 Swedish patients with musculoskeletal pain in terms of several sociodemographic, pain-related and psychosocial parameters (e.g. burnout, job strain). The design was cross-sectional. Data were collected by means of questionnaires in conjunction with the patients' visits to general practitioners or physiotherapists. Turkish patients, in comparison to Swedish patients, were more often widows or widowers, blue-collar workers and had lower educational levels. They were more often unemployed and more troubled by their financial and living situation, supported themselves more often via benefits, and had had longer sick-leave periods. Further, Turks rated their pain as being of longer duration and more intense, constant and complex. They were more often consumers of analgesics and sedatives, experienced treatments as less effective, and felt more disabled. Finally, Turks perceived higher demands and less control in their work environments, exhibited greater emotional distress and burnout, had lower self-esteem, and poorer ability to cope with pain. It was concluded that compared to Swedish patients, Turkish patients were exposed to a greater variety of psychosocial stressors, were more negatively affected by their pain conditions, had poorer mental health and less ability to cope with pain. These findings suggest that multidisciplinary team interventions are required in order to target multiple problematic areas of these patients' life situations.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We explored differences regarding several psychosocial constructs (e.g. coping with pain) between immigrant (n = 140) and Swedish (n = 446) patients seeking treatment for pain at health and physiotherapy centres. A cross-sectional study design was used. The findings showed that, compared with Swedes, immigrants more often relied on benefits for their support and were more concerned with their financial situation. They also had longer periods of sick-leave. In addition, immigrants felt more disabled, reported more job strain and relied more on passive coping strategies for pain. Finally, they were more emotionally distressed, as they showed more symptoms of burnout, anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress reactions, and lower self-confidence. Multivariate analyses performed separately for immigrant and Swedish patients showed differential patterns of associations between sociodemographic variables, financial strain, emotional distress, perceived disability, passive coping and job strain. We conclude that immigrant patients live under more strained psychosocial conditions and experience a deeper impact of pain than do their Swedish counterparts.
