الوصف: This qualitative phenomenological study examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lives of patients living with chronic pain. Patients referred to an intensive interdisciplinary pain management program between June 2020 to June 2021 were asked, “How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect your life?” as part of their interdisciplinary assessment. Ninety patients (50 Veterans, 40 civilians) provided comments to this question, which were independently organized into themes using an inductive approach by 4 researchers. Nine main themes emerged: (1) changed psychological state, (2) minimal to no effect, (3) affected personal life activities, (4) changes in accessing care, (5) changes in work/education situation, (6) changes in family dynamics, (7) experiencing more annoyances, (8) COVID-19 pandemic is a barrier to making positive changes, and (9) got COVID-19. Themes are consistent with topics of interest in light of this ongoing, global stressor. Most commonly reported themes reflected changes in psychological well-being and changes in access to care, highlighting similarities between life with chronic pain and life under the pandemic for this group.
