Result: The results showed between ailment and vulnerability related chronic pain (P < 0.01, β =0/39) and negative significant relations between ailment with living with pain (P < 0.01, β = - 0/26). Also the negative significant relations between vulnerability related chronic pain and living with pain (P < 0.01, β = - 0/18) were obtained.
