This study aims to explore the relationship between perception of pain, psychological well-being, coping and depressive symptoms in people with rheumatoid arthritis. The participants were 45 people of both genders, ages 28 to 83, were evaluated while attending their medical consultation. The measures used in this study were the Psychological Well-Being Scale (Ryff, 1989), the COPE Inventory (Carver, Scheier and Weintraub, 1989), visual analogue numerical scale to assess pain, and the Beck Depression Inventory II, (Beck, Steer and Brown, 2006). We found that pain is not related to any area of psychological well-being, but has a moderate positive correlation with depressive symptoms, problem-focused coping style, activity suppression strategies and procrastination, as well as negative correlation with the strategy to focus on and venting of emotions. According to demographic variables, there was: 1)direct correlation among the level of education and all dimensions of psychological, with except the environmental mastery, 2)the coping had a direct relation among turning to religion and religious experience level and finally, 3) negative relationships amongst denial and the comorbidity, and among the strategy to focus on and venting of emotions and time of diagnosis. The results of this study suggest that pain is a variable that defines a particular frame among chronic diseases and should be studied in greater depth by means of psychological variables.
