Anxiety is an important component of children's pain and is routinely assessed in pain research. Two forms of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory have been used frequently by researchers investigating children's pain and state anxiety (form C-1 and Y-1). We were unable to find psychometric information about this tool when used with a population of hospitalized children. Therefore, we undertook to assess reliability and validity, and identify problem items using data from 881 hospitalized children (aged 5-18 years) whom we had tested. Considering results of all analyses together, we concluded that the tools lack validity and reliability, and contain many problem items that are in need of revision.
焦虑是儿童疼痛的一个重要组成部分，在疼痛研究中经常被评估。研究儿童疼痛和状态焦虑的研究人员经常使用两种形式的状态-特质焦虑量表（C-1型和Y-1型）。在对住院儿童群体使用该工具时，我们未能找到有关其心理测量学的信息。因此，我们着手评估其信度和效度，并使用我们测试过的881名住院儿童（5至18岁）的数据来识别有问题的项目。综合所有分析结果，我们得出结论，这些工具缺乏效度和信度，并且包含许多需要修订的有问题的项目。
