Do Multidimensional Pain Inventory Scale score changes indicate risk of receiving sick leave benefits 1 year after a pain rehabilitation programme??

Abstract

A rehabilitation intervention directed to combating the consequences of pain in activities and participation rather than against pain per se might lead to improved working capacity.

Long-term effect in ADL after an interdisciplinary rehabilitation programme for WAD patients: a mixed-method study for deeper understanding of participants’ programme experiences

“…Participants had returned to work to a higher extent, and perceived less interference in daily life. Positive changes in the MPI scale score for ''pain severity'' and ''interference'' have earlier shown to be strong predictors of future work capacity [31]. The increase in work capacity in this study is also in accordance with the conclusions drawn by others concerning the effects of multidisciplinary rehabilitation programmes [48,49].…”

“…The purpose of which was to challenge negative thoughts and beliefs about pain and to teach specific coping skills. Similar results have been shown in previous research [31,38,39]. Improved work capacity and ability to perform the activities you need to/want to do as well as increased satisfaction with performance may result in higher quality of life and less negative psychological impact, but also social gains from increased productivity and reduced health care costs for the society.…”

“…Positive changes in the MPI scale scores for ''pain severity'' and ''interference'' have been shown to predict future work capacity [31] and pain chronicity [32].…”

The Mediating Role of Acceptance in Multidisciplinary Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain

“…23 A Swedish version was used. 39 The MPI functioning, work and work-related activities, and social-recreational activities. 39,44 The mean score was calculated for the scale.…”

Changes in Multidimensional Pain Inventory profile after a pain rehabilitation programme indicate the risk of receiving sick leave benefits one year later

“…In a previous registry study (20) we found that individuals who reported a decrease in MPI scales scores for the scales "Pain severity" and "Interference" immediately after the pain rehabilitation programme decreased their risk of being on fulltime sick leave one year later. the present exploratory study was carried out to analyse whether changes in MPI profiles for participants, which occurred during the rehabilitation programme were associated with changes in the sick leave situation one year later, and if gender influenced these changes.…”
