Ağrının Bilişsel İntrüzyonu Ölçeği’nin (ABİÖ) Türkçe Versiyonu: Kanserli Hastalarda Geçerlilik ve Güvenilirlik Çalışması

Abstract

Cognitive intrusion is a critical characteristic of pain. The aim of the present study was to test the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Experience of Cognitive Intrusion of Pain Scale developed by Attridge et al. in 2015. This methodological study conducted in the hematology clinic of an educational research hospital between February 2018 and June 2018 included 120 patients aged between 18 and 65 years. The study data were collected with the Sociodemographic Characteristics Questionnaire, Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and Experience of Cognitive Intrusion of Pain Scale (ECIPS). The Cronbach’s α coefficient of ECIPS was 0.96 and item-total correlation coefficients ranged between 0.79 - 0.89 (p < 0.01) and factor loadings were ranged between 0.82 - 0.91. ECIPS had a very strong correlation with PCS (r = 0.835, p < 0.001). Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the scale has good fit in revealing a single-factor structure. Item analysis, internal consistency, test-retest, face, criterion, construct validity and confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated that the Turkish version of the ECIPS was a valid and reliable tool and could be used to assess the level of cognitive intrusion of pain.
