Description
Staja Booker, Ann Horgas, and Jianli Wu study pain and self care readiness in older Black adults in a 2023 paper. Osteoarthritis lays a heavy burden of chronic joint pain on this group, which cuts into body and mind alike. A standard pain survey splits that pain into intensity and two kinds of interference.
The team re-read data from 110 men and women with a mean age near sixty-eight. Readiness stages were scored for seven self care strategies, from water exercise to medication use. Most pain factors did not split by stage, with two exceptions. Higher pain intensity lowered the odds of preparing for water exercise, while activity interference raised them.
