The aim of this work was to evaluate the psychometric properties Numerical Rating Scale-11 (NRS-11) when used assess pediatric pain intensity. We performed two studies: 175 schoolchildren, aged 8-12, participated in Study 1 and 63 children undergoing surgery 6-16, 2. NRS-11 showed (a) adequate convergent construct validity correlated with Faces Pain Scale - Revised (FPS-R; r(1)=0.78, r(2)=0.93); (b) discriminant relation measures pain-related affect (z(1)=3.55, z(2)=7.62) disability...

The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a widely used measure of sleep quality in adolescents, but information regarding its psychometric strengths and weaknesses this population limited. In particular, questions remain whether it measures one or two domains. aims the present study were to (a) adapt PSQI for use adolescents young adults, (b) evaluate properties adapted population. was slightly modified make more appropriate youth populations translated into Spanish administration sample...

Abstract Background There is growing evidence confirming that youths with physical disabilities are at risk for chronic pain. Although many scales assessing pain intensity exist, it unclear whether they all equally suitable youths. The aim of this study was to address knowledge gap by comparing the validity Numerical Rating Scale ( NRS ‐11), Wong Baker FACES Pain ), and a 6‐point categorical Verbal VRS ‐6) among (aged 8–20) disabilities. Methods One hundred thirteen (mean age = 14.19 years;...

There are many different instruments for assessing pain intensity in children, but the agreement between them is unclear. The aims of this study were to determine 1-dimensionality 4 widely used self-report scales measuring pediatric pain, and them. A sample 126 school children 6 8 years age (mean = 6.87 years; SD 0.68 year) interviewed individually asked identify most frequent that they had experienced 3 months before interview, report their maximum using all (Visual Analogue Scale, Coloured...

Electronic pain measures are becoming common tools in the assessment of pediatric intensity. The aims this study were (1) to examine agreement between verbal and electronic versions 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS-11) (vNRS-11 eNRS-11, respectively) when used assess intensity adolescents; (2) report participants' preferences for each 2 alternatives.A total 191 school children enrolled grades 7 11 (mean age, 14.61; range, 12 18) participated. They asked highest most frequent that they...

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has been shown to be an effective treatment for chronic pain in young people. Cognitive fusion is a key concept of ACT that hypothesized contribute distress suffering. In this study, we sought to: (1) test associations between cognitive intensity, disability, catastrophizing; (2) examine the function as possible mediator catastrophizing disability.A community sample 281 people (11 20 y) completed measures assessing fusion, catastrophizing.Cognitive was...

Painometer is a mobile application that includes four pain intensity scales: the Numerical Rating Scale, Faces Pain Scale-Revised, mechanical visual analogue scale and Colored Analogue Scale. The aim of this study was to analyze validity agreement reports provided by these scales their traditional counterparts. Participants were 180 young people (mean age = 14.88; SD= 1.64; range: 12–19). They asked report maximum most frequent in previous three months using electronic versions scales. also...

Objectives. Pain has been shown to be associated with poor sleep quality. The aim of this study was better understand the role that pain intensity and extent (number painful areas) may play in quality young people acute chronic pain. Design. Cross-sectional survey. Setting Patients. A convenience sample adolescents adults or pain; 414 individuals ages 12 24 (44% pain). Methods. We performed a hierarchical regression analysis as dependent variable intensity, extent, age chronicity predictors....

To provide additional empirical findings regarding the number of pain ratings needed to obtain valid measures for assessing outcomes in clinical trials. Secondary analyses data from a study examining effects psychological treatments on pain. Eleven adults with multiple sclerosis and chronic reported four domains intensity (current 24-hour recalled worst, least, average pain) occasions before after receiving 16 sessions treatments. We evaluated reliability validity single different composite...

Abstract. Cognitive fusion can be defined as the inability to view thoughts just thoughts, which is hypothesized increase impact of those on behavior. a core concept Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, therapeutic approach that being increasingly studied treatment for plethora chronic health problems. The objective this study was evaluate psychometric properties Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ) in sample adolescents. Three hundred eight adolescents (11–20 years) completed Catalan version...

Pain intensity is the most commonly assessed domain in pain research and clinical settings. To facilitate cross-cultural research, knowledge regarding psychometric properties of measures individuals from different countries needed. However, majority this has been conducted English-speaking countries.Survey study.University.Four hundred nineteen college students.Participants were asked to complete four assessing average intensity: 1) 0-10 numerical rating scale (NRS-11), 2) 100-mm visual...

Pain management is a challenge and effective treatment requires professionals to collaborate if they are address the needs of patients with pain. Comprehensive education training key helping skilled provide best pain care possible. The objective this work was study content provided undergraduates in healthcare veterinary programs Spain. A survey developed on basis previous surveys that had been used field. final version included 31 questions about different issues education, including, type...

To evaluate the reliability of findings suggesting that composite scores made up just two ratings recalled pain may be adequately reliable and valid for assessing outcome in clinical trials.Secondary analyses data from a study where responsivity measures was critical concern; is, with few subjects testing effects treatment had only modest effects. Ten adults spinal cord injury rated four domains intensity (current 24-hour worst, least, average pain) on occasions before after 12 sessions...

Pain catastrophizing is a key factor in modern conceptualizations of pain. The development the Catastrophizing Scale for Children (PCS-C) has greatly contributed to interest shown by pediatric pain specialists. purpose this work was study structure and analyze its reliability convergent, discriminant, criteria related validity. Three hundred sixteen adolescents (12-19 years) completed Catalan version PCS-C provided information about intensity. A subgroup 136 participants also measures...

The objective of this work was to study the agreement between four pain intensity scales when administered electronically: Numerical Rating Scale-11, Faces Pain Scale-Revised, Visual Analogue Scale and Coloured Scale. In all, 180 schoolchildren 12 19 years old participated in study. They had report maximum their most frequent using electronic versions scales. Agreement calculated Bland–Altman method. Results show that can be used interchangeably.

Abstract The Graded Chronic Pain Scale (GCPS) was originally developed to grade the severity of chronic pain conditions in adults. A revised version this instrument (ie, GCPS-R) has been for use with adults account advances metrics and new operational definitions high-impact pain. purpose current study adapt GCPS-R pediatric samples (P-GCPS-R) evaluate adapted measure's concurrent validity. One thousand five hundred sixty-four school-aged children adolescents (55% girls; 8-18 years)...

Objectives: To examine whether men and women with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) differ respect to pain severity functioning, pain-related beliefs, or coping. We hypothesized no significant sex differences in measures of but that we would observe between how they view cope FMS-related pain. Methods: A total 747 48 FMS who attended a multidisciplinary treatment program completed the study measures. Analyses covariance were used measures, P-value ≤0.01 at least moderate effect size (Cohen d≥0.5)...
