Pain acceptance is the process of giving up the struggle with pain and learning to live a worthwhile life despite it. In assessing patients with chronic pain in Turkey, making a diagnosis and tracking the effectiveness of treatment is done with scales that have been translated into Turkish. However, there is as yet no valid and reliable scale in Turkish to assess the acceptance of pain.
To validate a Turkish version of the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire developed by McCracken and colleagues.
Methodological and cross sectional study.
A simple randomized sampling method was used in selecting the study sample. The sample was composed of 201 patients, more than 10 times the number of items examined for validity and reliability in the study, which totaled 20. A patient identification form, the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire, and the Brief Pain Inventory were used to collect data. Data were collected by face-to-face interviews. In the validity testing, the content validity index was used to evaluate linguistic equivalence, content validity, construct validity, and expert views. In reliability testing of the scale, Cronbach’s α coefficient was calculated, and item analysis and split-test reliability methods were used. Principal component analysis and varimax rotation were used in factor analysis and to examine factor structure for construct concept validity.
The item analysis established that the scale, all items, and item-total correlations were satisfactory. The mean total score of the scale was 21.78. The internal consistency coefficient was 0.94, and the correlation between the two halves of the scale was 0.89.
The Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire, which is intended to be used in Turkey upon confirmation of its validity and reliability, is an evaluation instrument with sufficient validity and reliability, and it can be reliably used to examine patients’ acceptance of chronic pain.
疼痛接受是放弃与疼痛斗争并学会在有疼痛的情况下过有意义的生活的过程。在评估土耳其的慢性疼痛患者时,使用已经翻译成土耳其语的量表进行诊断和跟踪治疗效果。然而,目前还没有土耳其语的有效且可靠的量表来评估疼痛的接受程度。
验证 McCracken 及其同事开发的慢性疼痛接受问卷的土耳其语版本。
方法学和横断面研究。
采用简单随机抽样法选择研究样本。样本由 201 名患者组成,是验证和可靠性研究中检查的 20 个项目的 10 多倍。使用患者识别表、慢性疼痛接受问卷和简明疼痛量表收集数据。通过面对面访谈收集数据。在有效性测试中,使用内容有效性指数评估语言等效性、内容有效性、构念有效性和专家意见。在量表的可靠性测试中,计算了 Cronbach's α 系数,并使用项目分析和分测试可靠性方法。使用主成分分析和方差极大旋转进行因子分析,以检验构念概念的因子结构。
项目分析表明,该量表、所有项目和项目总分相关性均令人满意。量表的平均总分为 21.78。内部一致性系数为 0.94,量表两半之间的相关性为 0.89。
在确认其有效性和可靠性后,拟在土耳其使用的慢性疼痛接受问卷是一种具有足够有效性和可靠性的评估工具,可用于可靠地评估患者对慢性疼痛的接受程度。
