This study examined the relationship of self-reports of illness behavior to pain ratings and overt pain behaviors in a group of chronic low back pain patients referred for pain management. Illness behavior was measured using the Pilowsky and Spence Illness Behavior Questionnaire (IBQ) and pain behavior was recorded using a standard behavioral observation method. Multivariate regression analyses revealed that scores on the IBQ were highly predictive of a variety of indices of pain and pain behavior. These results were obtained even after controlling for significant demographic and medical status variables. The findings of this study support the utility of the IBQ in the behavioral assessment of chronic pain patients.
本研究调查了一组因疼痛管理前来就诊的慢性下腰痛患者的疾病行为自我报告与疼痛评分及明显疼痛行为之间的关系。使用皮洛斯基和斯彭斯疾病行为问卷（IBQ）来测量疾病行为，并采用标准行为观察方法记录疼痛行为。多元回归分析显示，IBQ得分能够高度预测各种疼痛指标和疼痛行为。即使在控制了重要的人口统计学和医疗状况变量之后，仍得出了这些结果。本研究结果支持了IBQ在慢性疼痛患者行为评估中的实用性。
