Turkish Validity and Reliability of the UW Concerns About Pain Scale

Brief Summary:

The aim of this study was to determine the Turkish validity and reliability of ''UW Concerns About Pain Scale'' developed by Dr. Amtmann.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Chronic Low-back Pain

Detailed Description

Chronic pain is a common condition, affecting an estimated 20% of people worldwide. The biopsychosocial model of chronic pain is the most current accepted approach to understanding the complexity of pain and disability. One of the most important psychosocial factors in this approach is pain-related self-efficacy, which is defined as the individual's confidence in their ability to tolerate pain and participate in daily activities despite pain. The aim of this study is to determine the Turkish version, validity, and reliability of ''UW Concerns About Pain Scale''. 60 people with chronic low back pain will include in the study. In order to determine the reliability of the scale, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) will be used to determine the level of the relationship between the results of the first and second measurements. Cronbach's alpha coefficient will be used for the homogeneity of the questions in the scale. For construct validity, the correlation coefficient will be used to determine the agreement between the Turkish version of Pain catastrophizing scale and, Turkish version of "Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire" and The ''UW Concerns About Pain Scale''.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
UW Concerns About Pain	The UW Concerns About Pain is intended measure an individual's level of pain catastrophizing. We will use to 8 item form, in study.	8 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Turkish version of Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS)	PCS was developed by Sullivan et al. in order to identify the catastrophic thoughts or feelings of the patients about the pain and ineffective coping strategies.The scale is a Likert-type self-assessment scale consisting of 13 items.Each item is scored between 0-4 points.The total score ranges from 0 to 52.High scores indicate a high level of catastrophizing.	10 minutes
Turkish version of "Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire"	FABQ was developed Waddell et al. in 1993. FABQ consists of 16 questions and 2 parts. While the first part of the scale evaluates attitudes about physical activities, the second part evaluates attitudes about occupational work. Scoring of the questionnaire is done with a 7-point Likert type scale. The Physical Activity section is scored between 0-24 and the labor section is scored between 0-36. A high score in KKTS indicates an increased level of fear-avoidance attitudes related to low back pain.	10 minutes
