Pain Acceptance in Chronic Postoperative Pain: Concept Analysis.
Article in Pain management nursing : official journal of the American Society of Pain Management Nurses, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeChronic postoperative pain (CPOP) is a potential outcome of otherwise successful surgery that can persist for months, with its prevalence varied by surgical type, genetic predispositions, and psychosocial factors. Pain acceptance offers better outcomes to these patient populations by fostering a willingness to experience pain without resistance. This analysis examines how pain acceptance contributes to psychological well-being, helps reduce opioid misuse, and enhances quality of life, even in the presence of CPOP.
designThe concept analysis approach follows Walker and Avant's framework (2019).
methodsA literature search across PubMed, Web of Science, and CINAHL yielded 276 articles, of which 16 met the inclusion criteria for adult-centered studies published from 2009 to 2024.
resultsSixteen publications identified through the literature search guided the development of the concept analysis and delineated the essential attributes such as open-mindedness/receptivity, present orientation, self-acceptance, and endurance.
conclusionsIdentifying key attributes, antecedents, and consequences of pain acceptance enables healthcare providers to tailor interventions that enhance postoperative recovery in patients with the risk of CPOP. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Findings from the concept analysis support future research on pain acceptance in postoperative populations, guiding healthcare practitioners on developing evidence-based interventions to improve quality of life for individuals with CPOP.
