AB Recent attention has focused on resilience as an important process in the experience andmanagement of chronic pain. In this context, resilience is considered as a psychologicalfactor that promotes adaptive responses to pain and pain-related life adversities. Currentresearch suggests that it is a relevant variable in the prediction of pain adjustmentamong chronic pain patients. Recently, it was adapted the Resilience Scale to patientssuffering chronic musculoskeletal pain (RS-18). The aims of this study were to confirmthe internal structure of the RS-18 and present new empirical evidence regarding itsvalidity. A sample of 592 patients with chronic musculoskeletal back pain completed abattery of instruments to assess resilience, anxiety sensitivity, catastrophizing, fearavoidance beliefs, hypervigilance, pain acceptance, and pain adjustment variables (painintensity, emotional distress, functional impairment, and daily functioning).Confirmatory factor analysis supported the validity of the RS-18 and a single-factorsolution. A series of moderated multiple regression analysis showed that resilience is arelevant psychological variable that not only independently predict better painadjustment, but also moderates the relationships between several psychological painrelated variables and pain adjustment variables. These findings give empirical supportto the consideration of resilience as a protective variable in chronic pain adjustment andhighlight the consideration that improving resilient behaviour could be an importanttarget for the treatment of pain patients.
