{\it Objective.} Comparisons of the results of a multidimensional criterion-referenced vocational assessment (CMVA) were performed between a group of patients with chronic pain (group P; n = 86) and individuals working (group W; n = 106). The participants had experience of five job categories. {\it Methods.} The participants' capability to work was assessed from the aspects of personal factors, background data, present work experience, personal and work environmental factors probably influencing work capacity and capacity to perform occupations. Eleven instruments comprising 407 items were used. {\it Results.} The results of the comparisons suggest that group P participants' work capacity was significant decreased by how they perceived their present work experience (X^2; p < 0.001), self-assessed or observed capability to perform daily and work occupations (t; p < 0.000). Among the factors which probably influenced their work capability, group P participants significantly (t; p < 0.05) more often used confrontive, emotive, palliative and covert coping strategies and had attained work and other life values to a less extent. Moreover, group P participants perceived that they had had a significant (t; p < 0.000) higher degree of psychosocial demands and more strain incurred from the psychosocial work environment. |
