“…The original English version of the PCS and its translated versions are psychometrically robust. The total score of PCS has repeatedly been shown to be reliable as evidenced by good-to-excellent internal consistency 2 , 3 , 10 , 14 – 17 , 20 , 21 and excellent test–retest reliability. 2 , 14 , 17 , 20 – 22 Standard error of measurement (SEM) and minimal detectable change (MDC) of the PCS range from 1.6 to 4.6 14 , 15 , 21 , 22 and 8.8 to 12.8, 14 , 15 , 17 , 21 respectively.…”

“…Pain catastrophizing, which has been defined as an exaggerated negative cognitive response related to pain, 1 has been shown to be associated with a broad array of important quality of life domains such as pain intensity, pain interference, and psychological function in individuals with chronic pain from different cultures. 2 , 3 Catastrophizing is responsive to various pain treatments 4 – 7 and has been found to mediate the effects of many of these. 4 , 8 Thus, catastrophizing remains an important psychosocial domain to assess in patients with chronic pain.…”

BackgroundPain catastrophizing is an exaggerated negative cognitive response related to pain. It is commonly assessed using the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS). Translation and validation of the scale in a new language would facilitate cross-cultural comparisons of the role that pain catastrophizing plays in patient function.PurposeThe aim of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the PCS into Nepali (Nepali version of PCS [PCS-NP]) and evaluate its clinimetric properties.MethodsWe translated, cross-culturally adapted, and performed an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) of the PCS-NP in a sample of adults with chronic pain (N=143). We then confirmed the resulting factor model in a separate sample (N=272) and compared this model with 1-, 2-, and 3-factor models previously identified using confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs). We also computed internal consistencies, test–retest reliabilities, standard error of measurement (SEM), minimal detectable change (MDC), and limits of agreement with 95% confidence interval (LOA95%) of the PCS-NP scales. Concurrent validity with measures of depression, anxiety, and pain intensity was assessed by computing Pearson’s correlation coefficients.ResultsThe PCS-NP was comprehensible and culturally acceptable. We extracted a two-factor solution using EFA and confirmed this model using CFAs in the second sample. Adequate fit was also found for a one-factor model and different two- and three-factor models based on prior studies. The PCS-NP scores evidenced excellent reliability and temporal stability, and demonstrated validity via moderate-to-strong associations with measures of depression, anxiety, and pain intensity. The SEM and MDC for the PCS-NP total score were 2.52 and 7.86, respectively (range of PCS scores 0–52). LOA95% was between −15.17 and +16.02 for the total PCS-NP scores.ConclusionThe PCS-NP is a valid and reliable instrument to assess pain catastrophizing in Nepalese individuals with chronic pain.

“…The simplicity and usefulness of PCS has led to various translations across languages and cultures, for example, German, 5 Catalan, 6 , 7 Turkish, 8 , 9 Malay, 10 Italian, 11 Portuguese, 12 , 13 Sinhala, 14 Korean, 15 English-, Afrikaans- and Xhosa-speaking, 16 French, 17 Spanish, 18 Dutch, 19 and Traditional and Simplified Chinese (SC). 20 , 21 In addition, researchers have developed a Child-version, (PCS-C) 6 , 22 , 23 and a shortened version of the PCS.…”

ObjectivePain catastrophizing is linked to many aspects of pain perception and defines a unique dimension in predicting pain intensity and physical disability. Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) is an effective, validated,self-report measure, commonly used in clinical trials. Here, we present a Simplified Chinese PCS (SC-PCS) version developed in Chinese patients suffering from chronic pain.MethodsThe SC-PCS was generated in five steps and tested on an initial patient cohort (N = 30). A convenience sample (N = 200) of in-hospital patients with non-malignant pain lasting for more than 12 weeks were recruited for the study, of which 81 completed 5 additional pain questionnaires. A subset (N = 24) of the patients completed an additional SC-PCS, 10 days after the initial query to assess test–retest validation.ResultsIntra-class correlations coefficient indicated high reproducibility and temporal consistency, (0.97), for the total score. Cronbach’s alpha determined high internal consistency across the SC-PCS total score and its three subscales (0.87, 0.85, 0.62, and 0.65). The SC-PCS total score moderately or weakly (R = −0.2 to 0.49), but significantly, correlated with other measurements, such as pain Visual Analog Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, Pain Anxiety Symptoms Scales, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, and education. We used exploratory factor analysis to examine the dimensionality of the SC-PCS, which indicated instability of the current three-factor model. However, a confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the three-factor model had the best goodness-fitting.ConclusionsWe demonstrate the successful translational adaptation from English to Simplified Chinese as well as the reliability and validity of SC-PCS. An important discovery was education level significantly correlated with SC-PCS, identifying a future consideration for other cross-cultural development of self-reported measures.
