“…The MSPQ represents a scale for patients with chronic pain or disabilities, while it provides useful information regarding the somatization of anxiety and/or depression (1,6). The MSPQ has exhibited a moderate correlation to other psychometric measures such as the Zung Depression Scale, Fear Avoidance Belief Questionnaire (FABQ) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale (4,5,10).…”

“…O bjective physical pathological en ti ties fail to fully explain symptomatic and functional outcomes of spinal pain in a plethora of cases (1). Furthermore, failure to locate an effective treatment based on specific etiology has led to increased awareness of the fact that there may be a wider variety of factors having an impact in the establishment and recurrence of associated disability, especially experienced by patients suffering from low back pain (LBP) (2).…”

“…These behaviors often hide phycological distress and may use body language (3). Psychological and social pressure and conflicts that vary culturally affect patients' health and have been associated with LBP (1,3). Heightened bodily awareness has been documented as an important psychological factor in chronic LBP patients, being related to anxiety and symptoms of depression.…”

Introduction: Somatic awareness as well as anxiety may be assessed with the Modified Somatic Awareness Questionnaire (MSPQ). The present study validates and adapts the Greek version of the MSPQ (MSPQ-GR) in individuals with chronic low-back pain.Methods: The MSPQ-GR along with the Greek versions of the Hospital Anxiety & Depression Scale (HADs-GR) and the Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ-GR) were completed by 69 consecutive individuals suffering from chronic low-back pain. Test-retest reliability was tested 48 hours later. Construct validity was studied with the correlation of MSPQ-GR to the FABQ-GR as well as to the HADs-GR. Analysis included the Pearson's correlation coefficient (r), the Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency and the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC).Results: Most patients were females (82.6%), while the cohort's mean age was 40.2 years. Cronbach's alpha was 0.87 and ICC was found to be 0.92. MSPQ-GR and the HAD-GR anxiety correlation was r=0.36, p=0.002, while MSPQ-GR and HAD-GR depression correlation was r=0.42, p<0.001. Correlation of the MSPQ-GR and FABQ were non-significant (FABQ-work r= 0.19, NS, FABQ physical r= 0.2, NS), confirming the discriminant construct validity of the MSPQ-GR.Conclusions: The present study provided initial evidence for the validity and reliability of the MSPQ-GR and thus, it may be used in clinical practice in patients with chronic LBP.
