Abstract

This conceptual article aims to propose a framework of understanding the risk and resistance factors that contribute to the adjustment of spousal caregivers of chronic pain patients (SCCPP). A comprehensive review of literature related to caregivers of patients with chronic pain was performed. Findings from the review were applied to the Wallander et al.’s Risk and Resistance Model of Adjustment, specifically examining outcomes among SCCPP. No statistical results are presented in this conceptual article. We advocate for the need to study and test the adjustment process of SCCPP in a systematic, comprehensive, and theory-driven manner to further understand caregivers’ strengths and challenges. This will allow for further rehabilitation interventions to address risk factors and promote resistance factors, allowing for more inclusive mental health care for SCCPP.
