Predicting Treatment Plan Adherence Based on Mindfulness and Selfefficacy Beliefs in Patients with Chronic Pain

The present research aimed to predict treatment plan adherence based on mindfulness and self- efficacy beliefs in patients with chronic pain. this cross-sectional and correlational study focused on all patients with chronic pain who visited shahid rajaei and shahid madani hospitals in karaj during the last six months of 2022. a total of 150 individuals were selected using the convenience sampling method. data were collected through the demographic information checklist, mindfulness questionnaire, general self-efficacy scale (gse), and treatment plan adherence questionnaire. data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient tests, and multiple regression analysis with spss 26. the results revealed a significant positive correlation between mindfulness (r = 0.642, p < 0.012) and self-efficacy beliefs (r = 0.669, p < 0.010) with treatment plan adherence. furthermore, regression analysis indicated that the predictive variables together explained 31% of the variance in treatment plan adherence scores in patients with chronic pain (p < 0.05). therefore, timely and appropriate interventions and education that enhance self-efficacy beliefs and mindfulness in patients with chronic pain can improve treatment plan adherence.
