Validation of the Turkish Version of the Brief Pain Inventory in Surgery Patients

Comparison of pain response and functional interference outcomes between spinal and non-spinal bone metastases treated with palliative radiotherapy

“…The goal of this study was to compare both pain and functional interference outcomes in patients treated with conventional palliative radiotherapy to spine and non-spine bone metastases using the BPI. The BPI has been validated internationally [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] as a method for patients to self-report pain and functional interference. It has been used extensively as part of cancer research, and the reliability of the tool has been confirmed in large populations [20].…”

Cross-Cultural Adaptation, Validity, and Reliability of the Turkish Version of Revised American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire in Surgical Patients

[16] The values of satisfaction with treatment scale were 0 for extremely dissatisfied and 10 for extremely satisfied. Total scores on the subscale of pain interference with functions were calculated by adding the scores for each item on pain interference.…”

“…[8] With the exception of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), there is no comprehensive and validated instrument for pain assessment in Turkey. [16] The APS-POQ-R has been validated in several languages, but a validated Turkish version has not been available until now. To provide effective pain management, the nurse, who has the responsibility of pain management, should monitor the effect of pain not only at rest but also during daily activities and evaluate patient satisfaction, thus establishing holistic nursing care in pain management.…”
