Pain disability is one of the most important socioeconomic problems in industrialized societies. To do an all-round approach for the pain biopsychosocials aspects, is fundamental to assess correctly its multidimensionality. The aim of this study was to analyze dimensions of the pain in patients who were on sick leave related to musculoskeletal disorders. The study had a sample of 77 subjects, 55 patients (Patients group) and 22 healthy workers (Control group). We analyzed differences between groups. Furthermore a comparison was made in patients group among the different pathologies. The assessment instrument was the WHYMPI, Spanish version (Ferrer, Gonzalez & Manassero, 1993). Results for the Mann-Whitney's U test between groups showed: a) in Section I, significant differences in all factors except 6, b) in Section II not significant differences, and c) in Section III significant differences in factors 2 and 4. We did not find significant differences in any factor among different pathologies (ANOVA). (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: journal abstract)
