This paper reports on the development of a measure of significant-others' reports of the frequency of their solicitous, distracting and negative responses to chronic pain patients demonstrations of pain. This significant-other version is based on analogous scales that comprise part of the West Haven-Yale Multidimensional Pain Inventory (WHYMPI). The 3 pain-relevant response scales were demonstrated to have adequate indices of internal consistency and criterion-related validity. The potential clinical and research utility of the measure is discussed.
本文报告了一种测量方法的开发情况，该方法用于评估重要他人对慢性疼痛患者疼痛表现的关怀、干扰和负面反应的频率。这个重要他人版本是基于类似的量表编制而成，这些量表是西黑文-耶鲁多维疼痛量表（WHYMPI）的一部分。研究表明，这3个与疼痛相关的反应量表具有足够的内部一致性指标和与标准相关的效度。本文还讨论了该测量方法在临床和研究方面的潜在用途。
