Reliability, validity, and responsiveness of a Canadian French adaptation of the pain self-efficacy questionnaire (PSEQ)

Psychometric properties of the translated Spanish version of the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire

“…Other studies have also used the ICC to establish correlation values for the PSEQ. The Arabic and Chinese-Hong Kong versions (12, 14) found average ICC correlation values of 0.79 and 0.75, respectively, and the Amharic, Canadian-French, Danish, Farsi, Italian, Japanese, and Marathi versions (1,7,16,20) found high ICC correlation values that ranged from 0.80 to 0.96. However, we have to consider the possible incurring in a recall bias, as the high test-retest reliability might've been influenced by the interval between assessments.…”

“…Recruitment of participants was conducted between March and May 2023. Participants were included based on the following eligibility criteria: ( 1 ) adults >18 years old, ( 2 ) with a medically diagnosed rotator cuff injury considered for surgical repair, and ( 3 ) willingness to participate in the study. Participants were excluded if they had any cognitive impairments that could interfere with the completion of the assessment or if they were illiterate in Spanish.…”

“…Rotator cuff injuries account for 80% of primary care consultations for shoulder pain ( 1 ), and their incidence increases with age ( 2 ). These injuries, among other problems such as weakness and loss of function, can cause significant levels of pain that are crucial when deciding treatment strategies ( 3 ).…”

“…These injuries, among other problems such as weakness and loss of function, can cause significant levels of pain that are crucial when deciding treatment strategies ( 3 ). Despite the development of many effective interventions to improve symptoms, around 30% of the patients report no significant change in pain-related outcomes, and psychosocial, occupational and lifestyle factors have been identified as possible reasons for this ( 1 ).…”

“…Translated and adapted versions of the PSEQ have assessed its psychometric properties in several languages, such as Amharic ( 7 ), Arabic ( 12 ), Canadian-French ( 1 ), Catalan ( 13 ), Chinese-Hong Kong ( 14 ), Chinese-Mainland ( 15 ), Danish ( 16 ), Italian ( 17 ), Farsi ( 18 ), Japanese ( 19 ), Marathi ( 20 ), Mongolian ( 21 ), Portuguese-Brazilian ( 22 ), Portuguese-European ( 23 ), and Yoruba ( 24 ). All of these translations were performed rigorously, and several of them adapted items from the questionnaire to their culture.…”
