Abstract (summary)
The occurrence of health anxiety (HA) in chronic pain is associated with adverse outcomes. As such,
it is important to identify constructs that might influence HA and pain-related outcomes. Metacognitions are an
emerging area of interest in both HA and chronic pain, but the relationship between the three factors has not
been extensively examined. The current study sought to examine the role of metacognitions about health in HA
and pain-related outcomes in chronic pain.
