制定有效的疼痛治疗策略需要提供治疗结果的精确和实用的衡量标准，这一点在退伍军人健康管理局(VHA)的国家疼痛倡议中已经得到了重视。本文介绍了五年合作努力的结果，以开发和验证一个全面和有效的疼痛治疗结果的自我报告衡量标准。在六个VHA机构接受住院或门诊疼痛治疗的两名退伍军人(总共957名受试者)完成了疼痛结果问卷-VA(POQ-VA)项目和几个额外的测量。我们使用了一个全面的、多阶段的分析程序来评估该工具的心理测量学特性。结果为POQ-VA在评估退伍军人慢性非癌症疼痛治疗效果时的可靠性、效度和临床应用提供了强有力的支持。
The development of effective pain treatment strategies requires the availability of precise and practical measures of treatment outcomes, the importance of which has been noted in the Veterans Health Administration's (VHA's) National Pain Initiative. This paper presents the results of a 5-year collaborative effort to develop and validate a comprehensive and efficient self-report measure of pain treatment outcomes. Two samples of veterans (957 total subjects) undergoing inpatient or outpatient pain treatment at six VHA facilities completed Pain Outcomes Questionnaire-VA (POQ-VA) items and several additional measures. We used a comprehensive, multistage analytic procedure to evaluate the psychometric properties of the instrument. Results provided strong support for the reliability, validity, and clinical use of the POQ-VA when used to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment for veterans experiencing chronic noncancer pain.
