Abstract

Aim: To translate the Multisensory Amplification Scale (MSAS) into European Portuguese and assess its validity and reliability in adolescents.

Methods: The MSAS was completed by 252 adolescents, who also responded online to the questionnaires: Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire, Functional Disability Inventory, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, Basic Scale on Insomnia Complaints and Quality of Sleep, and Central Sensitization Inventory. To assess test-rest reliability and measurement error, a subsample of 114 adolescents completed the MSAS twice. Structural validity and hypotheses testing were explored to assess construct validity.

Results: Test-retest reliability was good in adolescents with (n = 134; ICC = 0.84) and without (n = 118; ICC = 0.76) chronic pain. The SEM and MDC were 3.08 and 8.54 in adolescents with pain, respectively, and 3.28 and 9.09 in adolescents without pain. Cronbach's alpha showed good internal consistency in adolescents with (α = 0.80) and without (α = 0.74) pain. The factor analysis suggested a three-and four-factor solution for adolescents with and without pain, respectively. Positive correlations were found between MSAS and disability(r_s = 0.30), depression, anxiety and stress(r_s = 0.37), symptoms of nervous system sensitization(r = 0.47), sleep impairments(r_s = 0.24) and number of painful body sites(r = 0.24) in adolescents with chronic pain.

Conclusion: The MSAS European Portuguese version appears to be valid and reliable in adolescents with and without chronic pain.

青少年多感觉放大量表欧洲葡萄牙语版的信度和效度。

目的：将多感官放大量表（MSAS）翻译成欧洲葡萄牙语，并评估其在青少年中的效度和信度。方法：对252名青少年进行问卷调查，并在线填写北欧肌肉骨骼问卷、功能障碍量表、抑郁、焦虑和压力量表、失眠主诉和睡眠质量基本量表、中枢致敏性量表。为了评估测试-休止信度和测量误差，114名青少年完成了两次MSAS。通过结构效度和假设检验来评估结构效度。结果：有慢性疼痛的青少年（n = 134; ICC = 0.84）和无慢性疼痛的青少年（n = 118; ICC = 0.76）的重测信度良好。有疼痛青少年的SEM和MDC分别为3.08和8.54，无疼痛青少年的SEM和MDC分别为3.28和9.09。在有疼痛（α = 0.80）和无疼痛（α = 0.74）的青少年中，Cronbach′s α具有良好的内部一致性。因子分析分别为有疼痛和无疼痛的青少年提供了三因素和四因素的解决方案。慢性疼痛青少年的MSAS与残疾（rs = 0.30）、抑郁、焦虑和压力（rs = 0.37）、神经系统过敏症状（r = 0.47）、睡眠障碍（rs = 0.24）和身体疼痛部位数量（r = 0.24）呈正相关。结论：MSAS欧洲葡萄牙语版本在有或无慢性疼痛的青少年中是有效和可靠的。
