疼痛相关的信念和疼痛应对策略是当前慢性疼痛认知行为模型的核心组成部分，并且在许多研究中发现与心理社会和身体残疾显著相关。然而，大多数疼痛相关信念和应对措施的长度限制了临床医生和研究人员在许多情况下对这些变量进行彻底评估的能力。现有量表的非常简短版本的可用性将使评估一系列重要的疼痛信念和应对策略成为可能，在受试者或患者评估负担是一个问题的情况下。本研究采用理性与实证相结合的方法，编制了几种常用的疼痛信念与应对策略量表的一项和两项版本。研究结果支持这些简短的分量表的有效性。讨论了这些措施的适当使用和限制。(C) 2003国际疼痛研究协会。Elsevier Science B.V.版权所有。
Pain-related beliefs and pain coping strategies are central components of current cognitive-behavioral models of chronic pain, and have been found in numerous studies to be associated significantly with psychosocial and physical disability. However, the length of most measures of pain-related beliefs and coping restricts the ability of clinicians and researchers to perform a thorough assessment of these variables in many Situations. The availability of very brief versions of existing scales would make possible the assessment of a range of important pain beliefs and coping strategies in settings where Subject or patient assessment burden is an issue. In this study, one- and two- item versions of the subscales of several commonly used measures of pain beliefs and coping strategies were developed using both rational and empirical procedures. The findings support the validity of these brief subscales. The appropriate use and limitations of these measures are discussed. (C) 2003 International Association for the Study of Pain.
