Consequences of Chronic Non-Cancer Pain in adulthood. Scoping Review. Rev Saude Publica. 2020 Apr 17;54:39.http://hdl.handle.net/10668/15412To examine and map the consequences of chronic pain in adulthood. Documents addressing the impact of chronic pain on the psychological and social spheres of people suffering from chronic pain, published in Spanish and English between 2013 and 2018, were included. Those who addressed pharmacological treatments, chronic pain resulting from surgical interventions or who did not have access to the full text were excluded. Finally, 28 documents from the 485 reviewed were included. Studies show that pain is related to high rates of limitation in daily activities, sleep disorders and anxiety-depression spectrum disorders. People in pain have more problems to get the workday done and to maintain social relationships. Chronic pain is also associated with worse family functioning. This review shows that limitations in the ability to perform activities of daily living, sleep, psychological health, social and work resources and family functioning are lines of interest in published articles. However, knowledge gaps are detected in areas such as the influence of having suffered pain in childhood or adolescence, the consequences of non-fulfillment of working hours and gender inequalities.enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/AdultAdulthoodChronic PainCost of diseaseDaily ActivitiesQuality of lifeReviewActivities of Daily LivingAdolescentAdultAgedAnxietyChronic PainDepressionFamily RelationsHumansMiddle AgedSleep Wake DisordersYoung Adultresearch article32321056open accessActividades cotidianasAdolescenteAnsiedadAdultoAncianoDolor crónicoPersona de mediana edadRelaciones familiaresTrastornos del sueño-vigilia10.11606/s1518-8787.20200540016751518-8787PMC7135143https://www.revistas.usp.br/rsp/article/download/169077/160337https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7135143/pdf
