This paper seeks to analyse the psychometric and structural properties of the Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI) in a sample of temporomandibular disorder patients.
The internal consistency of the scales was obtained. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was carried out to test the MPI structure section by section in a sample of 114 temporomandibular disorder patients.
Nearly all scales obtained good reliability indexes. The original structure could not be totally confirmed. However, with a few adjustments we obtained a satisfactory structural model of the MPI which was slightly different from the original: certain items and the Self control scale were eliminated; in two cases, two original scales were grouped in one factor, Solicitous and Distracting responses on the one hand, and Social activities and Away from home activities, on the other.
The MPI has been demonstrated to be a reliable tool for the assessment of pain in temporomandibular disorder patients. Some divergences to be taken into account have been clarified.
本文旨在分析颞下颌关节紊乱症患者样本中多维疼痛量表(MPI)的心理测量和结构特性。
获取各分量表的内部一致性。对114名颞下颌关节紊乱症患者样本逐部分进行验证性因素分析,以检验MPI的结构。
几乎所有分量表都获得了良好的信度指标。原始结构无法完全得到证实。然而,经过一些调整,我们得到了一个令人满意的MPI结构模型,该模型与原始模型略有不同:某些项目和自我控制分量表被剔除;在两种情况下,两个原始分量表被归为一个因素,一方面是关切和分散注意力反应,另一方面是社交活动和离家活动。
MPI已被证明是评估颞下颌关节紊乱症患者疼痛的可靠工具。已阐明了一些需要考虑的差异。
