Summary: | This study investigated the meaning of adjustment to chronic pain.
Three co-researchers were interviewed in intensive sessions. They were asked to describe the story of their adjustment to chronic pain. The interviews were tape-recorded, transcribed as "protocols", and formed the data base for the study.
The meaning of adjustment to chronic pain was discovered through a phenomenological methodology. The protocol analysis yielded the themes, the comprehensive phenomenological description of adjustment to chronic pain, and the essential structure.
Implications for further thinking and for practice were presented. === Education, Faculty of === Educational and Counselling Psychology, and Special Education (ECPS), Department of === Graduate
