    Marco Teórico. Aunque se han estudiado diferentes estrategias de afrontamiento en dolor crónico, el papel del humor en la adaptación al dolor crónico no ha sido estudiado hasta el momento. Objetivo.

    Investigar el papel del humor como afrontamiento en la adaptación al dolor crónico. Método. Se entrevistaron a 111 pacientes con dolor crónico. Se utilizó el modelo de ecuaciones estructurales para analizar el modelo hipotético. Resultados.

    El humor de autoafirmación y las estrategias de afrontamiento basadas en el humor se asocian positivamente con el afecto positivo y la satisfacción vital. La intensidad de dolor percibido no se relaciona con estas variables. Conclusión.

    El estilo de humor de autoafirmación y el afecto aparecen como recursos de afrontamiento que contribuyen a explicar las diferencias en la adaptación de los pacientes con dolor crónico.

    Theoretical Framework: Background.

    Prior studies have analyzed coping strategies in the setting of chronic pain.

    However, no study has investigated the role of humor in adjustment to chronic pain. Purpose. To investigate the role of humor-coping strategies in adjustment to chronic pain. Methods. In total, 111 patients with chronic pain were interviewed. Structural equation modeling analyses were used to test the hypothetical model. Result. Self-enhancing humor and the humor-coping strategies were associated with positive affect and satisfaction with life. No association was found between humor and pain intensity.

    Conclusion. Self-enhancing humor appears to be a variable that could explain individual differences in adjustment to chronic pain.
