N2 - The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify how low-income older women with disabilities perceive pain, pain management, and communication with healthcare providers. We interviewed 26 low-income women (average age 75 years; SD 7.0), eliciting the following overarching themes: “Invisibility of Pain: Unnoticed or Undetected,” “Escalating Pain Leads to Help Seeking,” “Communication with Healthcare Providers and Outcomes,” “Pain Management Facilitates Function and Accomplishment,” and “The Intersection of Pain, Disability, and Depressive Symptoms.” Study findings support the ways in which behavior changes from pain can impede pain management.
