“…As shown by the post hoc analysis, higher parental education level was related to lower scores in FOPQ-P; therefore, in future studies, parental education level should be further investigated. Second, it could have been interesting to include more information about the child; for example, regarding the child's catastrophic thinking about pain with the Pain Catastrophizing Scale for Children (PCS-C) [36], and children's pain knowledge with the Concept of Pain Inventory (COPI) [37]. The Concept of Pain Inventory (COPI) was published after the study was performed, and it is a good option for assessing a child's pain concept in future studies.…”

Pediatric chronic pain is a challenging problem for children and their families, although it is still under-recognized and under-treated. The aim of this study was to investigate whether a pain neuroscience education program for children (PNE4Kids) delivered to healthy children aged 8 to 12 years old and attended by their parents would result in improved parental knowledge about pain neurophysiology, decreased parental pain catastrophizing about their own pain and their children’s, decreased parental pain vigilance and awareness, and decreased fear of pain in children. Twenty-seven healthy child–parent dyads received a 45 min PNE4Kids session. Demographic data were collected, and the Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire (NPQ), Fear of Pain Questionnaire—Parent Proxy Report (FOPQ-P), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), Pain Catastrophizing Scale for Parents (PCS-P), and the Pain Vigilance and Awareness Questionnaire (PVAQ) were completed by the parents before and after the PNE4Kids session. Twenty-six dyads completed study participation. In response to the PNE4Kids session, significant short-term (1 week) improvements were shown in the NPQ (p < 0.001) and the FOPQ-P (p = 0.002). Parents’ level of pain knowledge and children’s fear of pain, reported by their parents, improved after a 45 min PNE4Kids session. Thus, PNE4Kids should likewise be further investigated in healthy child–parent dyads as it might be useful to target parental and children’s pain cognitions at a young age.

“…In future studies assessing PNE in pediatrics, the Concept of Pain Inventory (COPI) could be a good option to assess child's concept of pain. It shows acceptable internal consistency (α = 0.78) and moderate test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient (3,1) = 0.55; 95% CI, 0.37-0.68) [37].…”

“…Although other measures can be used to assess an individual's concept of pain, the SOCOPA responds to the need for a pediatric version [38]. Importantly, it is quite different from another similar measure (COPI; [39]) in major ways. First, the SOCOPA is easy to administer and comprehend.…”

“…Pate and colleagues pointed out the need for a questionnaire specifically for children [38], and recently developed the Concept of Pain Inventory (COPI) [39] for this purpose. The COPI has fourteen items, all of which were developed according to contemporary pain science, and although it has shown an acceptable internal consistency (α=0.78) and test-retest reliability (r=0.54), it has several limitations.…”

(1) Background: Research has shown that thoughts about pain are important for the management of chronic pain in children. In order to monitor changes in thoughts about pain over time and evaluate the efficacy of treatments, we need valid and reliable measures. The aims of this study were to develop a questionnaire to assess a child’s concept of pain and to evaluate its psychometric properties; (2) Methods: This is a cross-sectional, two-phase, mixed-method study. A total of 324 individuals aged 8 to 17 years old responded to the newly created questionnaire. The Survey of the Concept of Pain (SOCOPA) was calibrated using the Rasch model. The chi-square test was used for the fit statistics. Underfit and overfit of the model were determined and a descriptive analysis of infit and outfit was conducted to identify who responded erratically. Internal consistency was measured using the Person Separation Index (PSI); (3) Results: Fit to the Rasch model was good. Suitable targeting indicated which items were simple to answer; Person Fit identified 9.56% children who responded erratically; PSI=0.814; (4) Conclusions: The findings suggest that SOCOPA is a measure of a child’s concept of pain that is easy to administer and respond to. It has a good fit and a good internal consistency.

“…The most frequently mentioned physical causes were nerve damage (teachers) and sensitive organs (mothers). Furthermore, one recent study developed and validated the Concept of Pain Inventory [27], a questionnaire measuring general beliefs, knowledge, and perceived function of pain, as well as biological pain processes. However, it does not specifically focus on a child's attribution of factors relevant to his or her own chronic pain condition.…”

Adolescents’ Explanatory Models for Headaches and Associations with Behavioral and Emotional Outcomes

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

More than one-third of adolescents experience recurrent headaches. Usually, these headaches are of primary origin and modulated by different biological and psychosocial factors. While parents are often consulted in scientific research and medical care about the nature of their child’s headache, it is unclear to what extent parents and their children agree upon the factors that cause them. Adolescents’ own attributions of headaches have rarely been investigated, and it is unclear how those attributions affect behavioral and emotional outcomes. In the present study, adolescents with chronic headaches (N = 248) and their parents (N = 120) rated the influence of various biological and psychosocial factors on the adolescents’ headaches. Associations between these factors and several behavioral and emotional outcomes were examined. The most frequently reported factor by both samples was stress; however, concordance between parents and adolescents was generally low. The factor “other disease” was significantly associated with medication consumption and school absence. This study is one of the first to provide insights into adolescents’ own attributions of headaches. Furthermore, the significant associations of the factor with behavioral outcomes reveal the importance of understanding personal explanatory models of headache. Future studies should examine associations between subjective headache causes and the individual’s experience of the disorder to improve headache interventions.
