Abstract

Objective: Family as an important social factor affecting chronic pain is considered by researchers in the field of pain because it is one of the most effective environments for people's physical and mental health.
Methods:  Accordingly, a research was conducted to investigate the progression of phobia movement based on the dimensions of family functioning with a total of 100 patients with musculoskeletal pain using available random sampling. The questionnaires (FAD) and (TSK) questionnaire were used to examine the family function and the movement of chronic pain-related phobias.
Results: The results showed that the relationship between total family function and fear of motion variable is significant (α = 0.219) at α = 0.05. This relation is direct and among the dimensions of family function, emotional blend, emotional responsiveness and communication the greatest relationship was shown with this variable, and the dimensions of family function explained the amount of phobia motion due to chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Conclusion: This study showed that general family function can have an effect on panic disorder, problem solving, emotional blend, emotional response and direct communication.
