How chronic pain changes a person's life story in relation to participation in occupational roles: A narrative exploration

Samenvatting

Background Chronic pain (CP) affects a large part of the population worldwide, decreasing physical and mental health and causing a shift in occupational roles. This has created a need for a better understanding to address this problem. Objectives To explore possible changes in occupational roles and the participation levels within among people diagnosed with CP over time. Material and methods The study used a qualitative, narrative methodology. Five people with CP were included in the study. They participated in a single-life story interview coupled with timeline drawings. Data analysis was conducted using a narrative analysis. Results The results revealed that occupational roles and the participation therein changed over time. Employee was considered the most important role, whereby the participants tried to maintain this role by sacrificing other roles within their lives. Moreover, CMP forced a change in their occupational identity. Conclusion CP can disrupt a person's life and demand a change in occupational roles and the participation levels within. This process was accompanied by possible changes in their occupational identity.
