“…Perceived injustice accounted for an additional 10% of the variance in emotional functioning and had the single strongest relationship with emotional functioning in the model -stronger than pain intensity and catastrophizing. This finding aligns with research indicating that unjust situations elicit strong negative emotional reactions [10]. Appraising one's pain as irreparable, a component measured by the IEQ, may foster feelings of helplessness.…”

Chronic pain is prevalent in children/adolescents and contributes to high healthcare utilization. Research suggests injustice perceptions about pain are important in adult patients and a possible treatment focus. We conducted a preliminary evaluation of the psychometric properties of the Injustice Experiences Questionnaire (IEQ) and the relationship between injustice perceptions, pain, and functioning in chronic pain patients (N=139, mean age=15 years, 72% female) presenting to a pediatric pain clinic. Patients completed measures assessing pain intensity, injustice perceptions about pain, catastrophizing, overall functional disability, emotional functioning, social functioning, and school functioning. The IEQ demonstrated good reliability and validity. Higher levels of perceived injustice were associated with higher levels of pain intensity, catastrophizing, and functional disability, and with poorer emotional, social, and school functioning. Additionally, perceived injustice remained significantly associated with pain intensity, functional disability, emotional functioning, social functioning, and school functioning after accounting for relevant demographic and clinical factors. This is the first study to suggest that injustice perceptions are important in the experience of pediatric chronic pain patients.Future studies should more thoroughly examine the psychometric properties of the IEQ in children/adolescents and elucidate the causal nature of these relationships, which will inform treatment efforts to improve pediatric pain care.Perspective: This initial investigation suggests that injustice perceptions about pain can be reliably and validly measured and are tied to important clinical outcomes in children/adolescents. Future studies that replicate and extend these preliminary results are necessary to determine the extent to which injustice perceptions are an important target for intervention.

“…However, injuries are not the only conditions under which individuals might experience a sense of injustice. As noted earlier, situations characterized by human rights violations, violations of beliefs in a just world, transgression or breach of equity norms have all been associated with perceptions of injustice [14][15][16]. These factors might characterize the experience of several non-injury debilitating or life threatening health conditions such as multiple sclerosis, arthritis, cancer, HIV and many others.…”

“…Perceptions of injustice can ensue from acts or conditions that might cause someone to suffer hardship or loss undeservedly [12,13]. Research has shown that perceptions of injustice are likely to arise when an individual is exposed to situations that are characterized by a violation of basic human rights, transgression of status or rank, or challenge to equity norms and just world beliefs [14][15][16]. The experience of unnecessary suffering as a result of another's actions, or the experience of irreparable loss are likely to give rise to the perception of injustice [11].…”

Introduction The primary objective of this research was to evaluate the psychometric properties of a questionnaire designed to assess perceive injustice associated with injury. Methods In Study 1, the 12-item Injustice Experience Questionnaire (IEQ) was administered to 226 individuals with musculoskeletal conditions. A subsample of 85 individuals were interviewed 1-year later about their ongoing symptoms and return to work status. In Study 2, the IEQ and other pain-related measures were administered on two separate occasions to 70 pain patients participating in a functional restoration rehabilitation program. ResultsStudy 1 Principal components analysis yielded a two-component solution with eigenvalues greater 1. Item content of the two components reflected elements of blame and irreparability of loss. In cross sectional analyses, the IEQ was significantly correlated with measures of catastrophic thinking, r = .75, P \ .01, fear of movement/re-injury, r = .58, P \ .01, depression, r = .66, P \ .01, and pain severity, r = .54, P \ .01. Cross-sectional regression analyses revealed that the IEQ, b = .44, P \ .01, and the PCS, b = .18, P \ .05, each contributed significant unique variance to the prediction of pain severity. The IEQ prospectively predicted return to work status, OR = .75, 95% CI = .58-.99, but not pain severity. Results-Study 2 Analyses supported the test re-test reliability of the IEQ, r = .90, P\.01. Treatment-related changes in the IEQ were significantly correlated with an objective index of improved physical function, r = .51, P \ .01. Conclusions The findings of these two studies support the construct validity of the IEQ and suggest that this measure might be a useful complement to psychosocial assessment of individuals with persistent pain conditions. Discussion addresses the processes through which perceived injustice might impact on disability and rehabilitation outcomes.

“…Previous studies have shown that perceived injustice is prone to emerge when individuals face situations that are characterized by a violation of basic human rights or challenge equity norms and just world beliefs [12][13][14]. Perceived injustice is a psychosocial factor that is socially patterned and is associated with psychological consequences such as anger, powerlessness, guilt or depression [15].…”
