ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Our study examined the 'paradox of wellbeing' among women with fibromyalgia and the role of cognitive fusion on wellbeing in relation to age.METHODS:
A total of 228 women diagnosed with fibromyalgia according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria were included. In order to explore the conditional effects of age in the moderation analyzes, as recommended in the PROCESS Macro, the 16th, 50th, and 84th percentiles were calculated. These percentiles define three age groups that we will call younger (from 30 to 53 years), middle-aged (from 54 to 60 years) and older women (from 61 to 78 years).RESULTS:
We found a 'paradox of wellbeing' among fibromyalgia patients which has not yet been reported the older the patients, the higher scores on hedonic (positive affect) and eudaimonic (activities engagement) wellbeing. A moderation effect of age was found in the relationship between cognitive fusion and wellbeing (cognitive fusion showed negative associations with positive affect and activities engagement but not among older patients).CONCLUSION:
Our study underscores the need of personalized interventions for fibromyalgia patients to improve their wellbeing. Especially in younger and middle-aged patients, it would be of interest interventions in cognitive defusion through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).Palabras clave
