“…The internal consistency for all subsections (rumination, helplessness and magnification) of the SA-PCS was also found to be excellent and considerably higher than previously reported ICC’s for subsections of the PCS. Nevertheless, the high internal consistency for the subsection magnification of the English, Afrikaans and Xhosa SA-PCS (α = 0.96; 0.99 and 0.93 respectively) found in this study is contradictory to the majority of validation studies which have previously reported that internal consistency for the magnification subsection, in particular, is usually unsatisfactory [7,34,37,38,40,41]. The internal consistency reported for the subsection magnification of the original, French, French-Canadian, Catalan, Italian and German PCS ranged between α = 0.56 to 0.67.…”

BackgroundPain catastrophization has recently been recognized as a barrier to the healthy development of physical functioning among chronic pain patients. Levels of pain catastrophization in chronic pain patients are commonly measured using the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS).ObjectiveTo cross-culturally adapt and validate the South African PCS (SA-PCS) among English-, Afrikaans- and Xhosa-speaking patients with fibromyalgia living in the Cape Metropole area, Western Cape, South Africa.MethodsThe original PCS was cross-culturally adapted in accordance with international standards to develop an English, Afrikaans and Xhosa version of the SA-PCS using a repeated measures study design. Psychometric testing included face/content validity, internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha-α), test-retest reliability (intraclass coefficient correlations-ICC), sensitivity-to-change and cross-sectional convergent validity (by comparing the adapted SA-PCS to related constructs).ResultsThe cross-culturally adapted English, Afrikaans and Xhosa SA-PCS showed good face and content validity, excellent internal consistency (with Chronbach’s α = 0.98, 0.98 and 0.97 for the English, Afrikaans and Xhosa SA-PCS, as a whole, respectively), excellent test-retest reliability (with ICC’s of 0.90, 0.91 and 0.89 for the English, Afrikaans and Xhosa SA-PCS, respectively); as well as satisfactory sensitivity-to-change (with a minimum detectable change of 8.8, 9.0 and 9.3 for the English, Afrikaans and Xhosa SA-PCS, respectively) and cross-sectional convergent validity (when compared to pain severity as well as South African versions of the Tampa scale for Kinesiophobia and the revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire).ConclusionThe SA-PCS can therefore be recommended as simple, efficient, valid and reliable tool which shows satisfactory sensitivity-to-change and cross-sectional convergent validity, for use among English, Afrikaans and Xhosa-speaking patients with fibromyalgia attending the public health sector in the Western Cape area of South Africa.

“…However, a similar difference is seen in the clinical samples, with our sample of headache sufferers scoring higher (M=33.35, SD=8.91) than the chronic pain sample of children recruited by Crombez et al [4] from a pediatric pain ward for evaluation of psychological problems (M=21.88, SD=11.44). The comparison with scores from the studies of Verwoort et al [30] documents even lower scores in the school sample than reflected in the data of Crombez et al [4] [13.27 (8.33)], whereas Tremblay et al [27] reported scores in between [22.56 (88.13)]. Thus the size of the scores varies considerably between studies conducted in different countries and on different samples.…”

The reaction of N-(4-aminophenyl)aza-15-crown-5 (1) with anti -chlorophenylglyoxime (2) produces a novel azacrown ether containing vic-dioxime, N-(4-aminophenyl)aza-15-crown-5-phenylglyoxime (LH 2) . LH 2 reacts with Ni(II), Cu(II), Co(II), Cd(II), and Zn(II) ions to yield the mononuclear transition and nontransition metal complexes [M(LH) 2 ] (M = Ni and Cu), [M(LH)2 (H 2 O) 2 ] (M = Co), and [M(LH)(H 2 O)(Cl)] (M = Cd and Zn). The structural features of LH 2 were studied using several techniques including elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet visible (UV-Vis), mass spectrometry (MS), 1-dimensional (1D) 1 H-NMR and 13 CNMR, distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) 2-dimensional (2D) heteronuclear single-quantum coherence (HSQC), and heteronuclear multiplebond correlation (HMBC) techniques. The structures of the complexes were confirmed by elemental analyses and with the use of magnetic susceptibility measurements, MS, UV-Vis, FT-IR, 1 H-NMR, and 13 C-NMR techniques. The redox behaviors of the ligand and its complexes were verified with cyclic voltammetry (CV) at a glassy carbon (GC) electrode in 0.1 M tetrabutylammoniumtetrafluoroborate (TBATFB) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).

Pain Catastrophizing Scale for Francophone Adolescents: A Preliminary Validation

Abstract: The results suggest that the PCS-Ado is valid and reliable with francophone adolescents. Further research is required to assess the validity of the PCS-Ado in clinical settings.
