The construct validity of screening questions for kinesiophobia, pain catastrophizing, depression, and stress in patients with (sub-)acute non-traumatic neck pain
Background
Neck pain is common and may transition from acute to chronic, often influenced by psychological factors like kinesiophobia, pain catastrophizing, depression, and stress. Early screening for these factors in patients with (sub-)acute neck pain is crucial to prevent chronicity.
Objectives
To examine the construct validity and internal consistency of screening questions for kinesiophobia, pain catastrophizing, depression, and stress in Dutch patients with (sub-)acute, non-traumatic neck pain.
Design
Cross sectional study.
Method
Hypotheses were formulated for convergent and divergent validity. Screening questions were compared with established questionnaires: the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK-11) for kinesiophobia, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS-6) for pain catastrophizing, and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) for depression and stress. When strong convergent validity (r ≥ 0.7) was observed, internal consistency was assessed.
Results
Moderate correlations were observed for kinesiophobia (r = 0.526, TSK-11), depression (r = 0.660 DASS-21 depression), and stress (r = 0.506. DASS-21 distress). Pain catastrophizing showed a strong correlation with the PCS-6 (r = 0.771). Divergent validity was supported by correlations ≤0.5 with unrelated constructs for kinesiophobia, pain catastrophizing, and stress, but not for depression. Internal consistency for pain catastrophizing was 0.692. Scatterplots showed wide dispersion for kinesiophobia and stress. For pain catastrophizing, the scatterplot revealed that low screening scores were associated with high reference standard scores.
Conclusions
Investigating the complex constructs of kinesiophobia, pain catastrophizing, depression and stress with one or two questions cannot currently be recommended. Further research is needed to confirm the ability to screen for psychological constructs.
期刊介绍:
Musculoskeletal Science & Practice, international journal of musculoskeletal physiotherapy, is a peer-reviewed international journal (previously Manual Therapy), publishing high quality original research, review and Masterclass articles that contribute to improving the clinical understanding of appropriate care processes for musculoskeletal disorders. The journal publishes articles that influence or add to the body of evidence on diagnostic and therapeutic processes, patient centered care, guidelines for musculoskeletal therapeutics and theoretical models that support developments in assessment, diagnosis, clinical reasoning and interventions.
