This questionnaire has demonstrated good psychometric qualities and versions have been validated in several different languages. This study describes the validation of the Danish version of the CPAQ.
Methods:
A total of 114 patients with chronic pain completed the questionnaire as well as other measures of pain, anxiety, depression, coping, and health-related quality of life.
Results:
Internal consistency was satisfactory and the factorial analysis yielded a two-factor solution, confirming the original structure of the questionnaire.
Conclusion:
The psychometric properties of the Danish version of the 20-item CPAQ were satisfactory, showing that the Danish version of CPAQ is valid and reliable.
