Objective:
The objective of this study was to describe evidence about chronic pain (CP) in lower socioeconomic status (SES) adult populations.
Design:
The study design was an integrative review.DATA SOURCES used were MEDLINE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO, published from January 2008 to February 2018.
Review/Analysis Method:
Whittemore and Kanfl's 5 staged methodology (problem identification, literature search, data evaluation, data analysis, and presentation) was used to guide the review.
Results:
Disparities based on SES affect CP development and management. Childhood risk factors impact CP experience over the life course. Neighborhood SES affects pain-related outcomes, and those with lower SES in rural settings have a higher prevalence of prescription opioid use.
Nursing Implications:
Findings from this review will support nurses to interpret CP through the lens of SES.
