Abstract: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a medically complex, multifaceted gynecological condition associated with psychological comorbidities and sexual trauma among women. Low rates of positive treatment outcomes underscore the need to better understand complex relationships between CPP, trauma exposure, and the psychosocial context of patients' lives. We conducted a secondary analysis of English and Spanish qualitative interviews with female-identity patients (N = 48) about CPP's impact on psychosocial well-being. Interviews were coded and analyzed in accordance with reflexive thematic analysis. We generated 4 themes regarding CPP and psychosocial well-being: navigating pain-filled relationships, multiple burdens of mental health challenges and marginalization, sexual trauma exposure embedded in illness experience, and harnessing hope in healing and dealing with CPP. We used insights from these findings to generate a list of treatment recommendations for trauma-informed, CPP-specific integrated care. Patients described the importance of social support and how psychological comorbidities and trauma exposure contributed to CPP's psychosocial toll. Findings provide insight into the burden of CPP-related minority stress and the role of hope on patients' well-being. Patients with CPP endorse the integration of psychosocial support into their CPP treatment plans. The authors encourage the incorporation of behavioral health providers into integrated care teams to deliver trauma-informed, culturally responsive methods for engaging patients with CPP in psychosocial interventions addressing multiple domains of well-being.
