“…The PDI uses a scale from 0 to 10, in which greater scores indicate more severe pain-related disability [40]. The PDI is a commonly used scale and has been shown to be internally reliable (ICC = 0.86) and valid for discriminating between low and high levels of disability [40–42]. Previous research has used a reduction of 9.5 points on the Pain Disability Inventory as an indicator of clinically meaningful change [43–45].…”

Chronic pain negatively impacts health, well-being, and social participation. Effective rehabilitation often hinges on long-term changes in pain-related perceptions and behaviors. However, there are important gaps in understanding how patients perceive these changes. The present pilot study addresses this gap by using qualitative and quantitative methodologies to explore how patients perceive and experience changes in function, participation, and pain-related factors following a chronic pain rehabilitation program. A mixed-method design was used in which the core method was qualitative. Descriptive quantitative data was used to further characterize the sample. Semistructured interviews were conducted 1–6 months following treatment completion. Questionnaires were administered before and after treatment and at follow-up. Interview data was analyzed thematically. Participants' individual descriptive data was compared to established cut-scores and criteria for change. A major theme of personal growth emerged in the qualitative analysis. Participants also discussed the factors that facilitated personal growth and the ongoing challenges to this growth. The quantitative data revealed limited improvement on measures of pain, disability, catastrophizing, and depression. These findings suggest that, despite limited improvement on treatment-related questionnaires, patients can experience an important and enduring sense of personal growth. Clinical and theoretical implications are discussed.

“…Dutch. 5 The main advantages of the PDI over other questionnaires are its brevity (7 items), applicability for varying types of pain disorders, such as specifi c, nonspecifi c pain, acute, or chronic pain, and its applicability for any body part or diagnosis. Using the PDI may enhance comparison of disability between clinical populations.…”

“…Subjects are asked to rate disability on a numeric rating scale ranging from 0 (no disability) to 10 (maximum disability) in the areas family and home responsibilities, recreation, social activity, occupation, sexual behaviour, self-care, and life-support activity. The instrument has been tested and is considered valid and reliable for pain-related disability (Tait, Chibnall, 1990;Soer et al, 2012bSoer et al, , 2013. The Swedish version of the PDI was used for this study.…”
