Abstract

The objective of this study was to examine the role of coping strategies, specifically negative thinking, in mediating the association of pain with symptoms of anxiety and depression in adolescents with sickle cell disease. Fifty-two 12–18-year-old adolescents with sickle cell disease completed a daily pain diary and paper-and-pencil measures of pain, pain coping, depression and anxiety. Symptoms of depression and anxiety were within the non-clinical range. Preliminary analyses indicated that lower family income was associated with higher reports of pain and negative thinking. Mediation regression analyses supported negative thinking as mediating the association of: (1) pain intensity with depression, and (2) pain interference with daily activities with anxiety. Findings highlight negative thinking as a factor compromising adolescents’ adaptation to sickle cell pain; however, further investigation is required to determine the mediating influence of pain coping. Associations for lower income emphasize the multiple risk factors experienced by many of these adolescents.

Because pain was associated with negative thinking and with internalizing symptoms, mediation was considered more likely than moderation in terms of describing the nature of the associations among target variables in this study. It should be noted, however, that we tested the alternative hypothesis of moderation of the association of pain and depression and pain and anxiety by negative thinking (using a strategy outlined by Baron and Kenny 1986). We did not find statistical support for this alternative hypothesis.
