%X Chronic pain encompasses any condition or pathology that includes suffering from
pain for a period of no less than three months that affects personal, work and family
life. Psychological well-being is one of the most affected aspects in people suffering
from chronic pain and the development of good emotional intelligence may be a
protective factor for this well-being. The aim of this study was to test whether there
are differences in Psychological Well-being and Perceived Emotional Intelligence
between university students with chronic pain and those without pathologies, and
to analyse whether Perceived Emotional Intelligence can explain the variability in
the psychological well-being of students with chronic pain. A total of 101 people
participated in the study (mean age = 23 years; SD = 4.6), 53 with chronic pain and
48 without previous pathologies. A descriptive-correlational study was conducted
in which participants had to complete a survey on a voluntary basis. The results
showed differences in Self-acceptance and Purpose in life of psychological wellbeing
and in Emotional Repair of Perceived Emotional Intelligence. In addition,
a positive linear relationship was found between Emotional Repair and Self-
Acceptance, Purpose in Life and Environmental Mastery scores in participants with
chronic pain. The present study highlights the importance of emotional intelligence training in people with chronic pain for the development of psychological wellbeing.
