Description
Aguilar and co-authors tested a Spanish-language version of the Pain Self Efficacy Questionnaire, adapted culturally for Spanish-speaking Mexican Americans living with chronic pain. The questionnaire measures pain self-efficacy, a person's confidence in staying active despite pain, which predicts engagement in daily activities but had lacked a validated tool for this population.
The study enrolled 182 adults with chronic pain, of whom 56.6 percent were women, with a mean age of 38.3 years at enrollment. The adapted scale showed high internal consistency, with reliability coefficients near 0.92 on both standard measures reported. A factor analysis supported its underlying structure, and scores correlated modestly in the expected directions with pain anxiety, pain catastrophizing, and pain interference. The authors conclude the version is reliable and preliminarily valid, while calling for further work before routine clinical use.
