Pain-related beliefs and pain coping strategies are central components of current cognitive-behavioral models of chronic pain, and have been found in numerous studies to be associated significantly with psychosocial and physical disability. However, the length of most measures of pain-related beliefs and coping restricts the ability of clinicians and researchers to perform a thorough assessment of these variables in many situations. The availability of very brief versions of existing scales would make possible the assessment of a range of important pain beliefs and coping strategies in settings where subject or patient assessment burden is an issue. In this study, one- and two-item versions of the subscales of several commonly used measures of pain beliefs and coping strategies were developed using both rational and empirical procedures. The findings support the validity of these brief subscales. The appropriate use and limitations of these measures are discussed.
与疼痛相关的信念和疼痛应对策略是当前慢性疼痛认知行为模型的核心组成部分,并且在众多研究中已发现它们与心理社会和身体残疾显著相关。然而,大多数与疼痛相关的信念和应对措施的长度限制了临床医生和研究人员在许多情况下对这些变量进行全面评估的能力。现有量表的非常简短版本的可用性将使在受测者或患者评估负担成为问题的环境中评估一系列重要的疼痛信念和应对策略成为可能。在本研究中,使用理性和实证程序开发了几种常用的疼痛信念和应对策略测量量表子量表的单项和两项版本。研究结果支持这些简短子量表的有效性。讨论了这些测量方法的适当使用和局限性。
