对疼痛的灾难性描述已经成为我们如何理解成人和儿童对疼痛的适应的关键变量。然而，在儿童中，目前测量疼痛灾难化的方法依赖于更大的应对清单的简短子量表。因此，我们采用了疼痛灾难化量表（Sullivan等人，1995）用于儿童，并在两项研究中调查了其结构和预测效度。研究1显示，在一个社区样本（400名男孩，414名女孩，8岁9个月和16岁5个月之间的年龄范围）的儿童疼痛灾难化量表（PCS-C）评估独立的，但强烈相关的尺寸反刍，放大和无助，被归入下的高阶结构的疼痛灾难化。这三个因素的结构是不变的年龄组和性别。研究2显示，在慢性或复发性疼痛儿童（23名女孩，20名男孩，年龄范围在8岁3个月和16岁6个月之间）的临床样本中，对疼痛的灾难化在预测性别和年龄以外的疼痛强度方面有独特的贡献，在预测残疾方面，超越性别，年龄和疼痛强度。痛苦灾难化的功能进行了讨论，从痛苦的逃避，和显着的他人的痛苦的沟通的便利。(C)2003年国际疼痛研究协会。由Elsevier Science B.

Catastrophizing about pain has emerged as it critical variable in how we understand adjustment to pain in both adults and children. In children, however, Current methods of measuring catastrophizing about pain rely on brief subscales of larger coping inventories. Therefore, we adapted the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (Sullivan et al., 1995) for use in children, and investigated its construct and predictive validity in two studies. Study 1 revealed that in a community sample (400 boys, 414 girls,; age range between 8 years 9 months and 16 years 5 months) the Pain Catastrophizing Scale for Children (PCS-C) assesses the independent but strongly related dimensions of rumination, magnification and helplessness that are subsumed under the higher-order construct of pain catastrophizing. This three factor Structure is invariant across age groups and gender. Study 2 revealed in a clinical sample of children with chronic or recurrent pain (23 girls, 20 boys age range between 8 years 3 months and 16 years 6 months) that catastrophizing about pain had a unique contribution in predicting pain intensity beyond gender and age, and in predicting disability, beyond gender, age and pain intensity. The function of pain catastrophizing is discussed in terms of the facilitation of escape from pain, and of the communication of distress to significant others.
