“…In the past studies, trait FOP was usually measured by a Fear of Pain Questionnaire [ 15 ]. In this study, the same methodology was adopted and we used the simplified Chinese version of the 9 items [ 16 ] (FOP-9) to obtain information on a patient's trait FOP at admission. FOP-9 is a 5-point ordinal Likert scale and the total score ranges from 9 to 45, with higher score meaning more severe FOP.…”

Setting. Thoracic surgery department of a tertiary hospital. Background. Fear of pain (FOP) has been recognized as an influential moderator and determinant of the perception and disability of chronic pain. However, studies on FOP in postoperative acute pain are few and inconsistent. Objective. To explore whether FOP is related to pain intensity after thoracic surgery and provide a reference for FOP study in postoperative pain. Methods. From February to March 2022, 89 patients completed Chinese Version of Fear of Pain-9 Items (FOP-9), Chinese version of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI, including least, worst, and average pain) and Simplified Chinese version of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS). Correlation analyses and mediation analyses were used for exploring the relationship between factors. Results. Mediation analyses showed that the total effects of FOP-9 on BPI all were significant (least pain: effect = 0.085, p = 0.013 , 95% CI = 0.019∼0.151; worst pain: effect = 0.116, p = 0.004 , 95% CI = 0.037∼0.196; average pain: effect = 0.102, p = 0.005 , 95% CI = 0.031∼0.174) indicating that FOP-9 was a predictor to BPI. The 95% bias-corrected bootstrap confidence interval of estimate of indirect effect between FOP-9 and least pain/average pain through PCS was −0.036∼0.024 and −0.003∼0.069 (all contain zero), which indicated that PCS is not a mediator between FOP-9 and least pain/average pain. However, the estimate of indirect effect between FOP-9 and worst pain through PCS were 0.048 (95% CI = 0.095∼0.088), and direct effect was not statistically significant (95% CI = −0.017∼0.153), indicating that PCS acted as a complete intermediary between FOP-9 and worst pain. FOP-9 and PCS showed significant positive prediction effect on worst pain. Conclusions. Both trait FOP and state FOP were associated with higher postoperative pain reports after thoracic surgery. Trait FOP influences postoperative pain through the mediating effect of state FOP.

“…A shorter version of the FPQ-III, the Fear of Pain Questionnaire-9 (FPQ-9) [14], was recently developed to support the demand for concise scales with faster administration time. Although the shorter version has only nine items as compared to thirty items of FPQ-III, it has been found to be a good alternative to the original scale [14,15]. The FPQ-9 is also designed to assess similar three dimensions of painful stimulus, namely the Fear of Medical/Dental Pain, Fear of Minor Pain, and Fear of Severe Pain.…”

“…The FPQ-9 is also designed to assess similar three dimensions of painful stimulus, namely the Fear of Medical/Dental Pain, Fear of Minor Pain, and Fear of Severe Pain. Previous studies that examined the FPQ-9 psychometric properties indicated good model fit of the three-factor structure [4,14,15], adequate internal consistency (ranging 2 of 15 from 0.72 to 0.84) and test-retest reliability (ranging from 0.74 to 0.87) [14,15], and good convergent/discriminant validity [7].…”

In this study, we examined the psychometric properties of the Fear of Pain Questionnaire (FPQ-9) in Indigenous Australian people. FPQ-9, a shorter version of the original Fear of Pain Questionnaire-III, was developed to support the demand for more concise scales with faster administration time in the clinical and research setting. The psychometric properties of FPQ-9 in Indigenous Australian participants (n = 735) were evaluated with network psychometrics, such as dimensionality, model fit, internal consistency and reliability, measurement invariance, and criterion validity. Our findings indicated that the original FPQ-9 three-factor structure had a poor fit and did not adequately capture pain-related fear in Indigenous Australian people. On removal of two cross-loading items, an adapted version Indigenous Australian Fear of Pain Questionnaire-7 (IA-FPQ-7) displayed good fit and construct validity and reliability for assessing fear of pain in a sample of Indigenous Australian people. The IA-FPQ-7 scale could be used to better understand the role and impact of fear of pain in Indigenous Australian people living with chronic pain. This could allow for more tailored and timely interventions for managing pain in Indigenous Australian communities.
