Objective: Although evidence suggests that pain catastrophizing and marital satisfaction are associated with chronic pain patient’s depression but whether this association remains significant after controlling for other variables, has not yet been studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of pain catastrophizing and marital satisfaction in predicting patient’s depression after controlling for severity of pain, fear of pain and pain-related disability. Methods: In a cross - correlation proposal among patients who had referred to orthopedic clinic and regarding to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 121 patients were selected. They were asked to answer the visual pain scale, pain catastrophizing scale, fear of movement, pain-related disability, depression and marital satisfaction questionnaire. Results: Data analysis showed a significant negative correlation between marital satisfaction and depression. Also pain catastrophizing, fear of pain and disability were positively correlated with depression. In regression analysis, catastrophizing and marital satisfaction predicted patient’s depression beyond the effect of pain intensity, fear of pain and pain-related disability. Conclusion: Considering that lower marital satisfaction and catastrophic thoughts predict depression in chronic pain patients, using cognitive strategies to reduce catastrophic thoughts and couple therapy approaches to increase their marital satisfaction seems to be beneficial in reducing patient’s depressive symptoms
