Test—retest stability of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale and the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia in Chronic Pain over a Longer Period of Time

Abstract: The objective of this study was to investigate the test-retest stability of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) and their subscales in chronic pain patients over relatively long period of times like those that are most often seen in clinical practice. Fifty non-malignant chronic pain patients filled out the PCS and TSK twice with a mean interval between testing of 52 days. Both assessment instruments showed sufficient test-retest stability, even with long time interval… Show more

“…In fact, not until individuals are two standard deviations below the average level of kinesiophobia does the scale begin to produce less reliable scores. Also, shortening the scale in this manner improves efficiency for the use of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia as a measurement tool to identify fear of movement in people with arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions which is crucial before targeted interventions (e.g., ''cognitive behavioral treatment or exposure training to reduce pain catastrophizing and pain-related fear'') in this area can be effective [29]. …”

“…These properties of the TSK have been examined in populations with chronic low back pain (LBP), acute LBP, neck pain, fibromyalgia, and shoulder pain. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] The TSK has good internal consistency (a ¼ 0.68-0.80), test-retest reliability up to 50 days (intra-class correlation coefficient [ICC] ¼ 0.72), and construct validity (the latter when tested against fearavoidance beliefs and pain catastrophizing). [14][15][16][17][18] The Dutch and Swedish versions of the TSK have good predictive and construct validity, good to excellent testretest reliability (r ¼ 0.64-0.91), and good internal consistency (a ¼ 0.70-0.81) in patients with LBP.…”

[17][18][19][20] In 2005, the original 17-item TSK was revised to create an 11-item version known as the TSK-11, excluding ''six psychometrically poor items.'' 21(p.137) Four items were removed because their responses did not fit the pattern of a normal distribution, 21 and two others because they appeared to measure different constructs than the other items.…”
