This study developed the Chronic Pain Coping Inventory (CPCI) to measure how patients manage chronic pain. The CPCI reliably assesses coping strategies and predicts patient adjustment, aiding in better pain management.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Chronic pain affects millions globally, necessitating effective coping strategies.
  • Existing measures may not fully capture the multifaceted nature of pain coping.
  • Understanding patient coping mechanisms is crucial for improving treatment outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a comprehensive measure of chronic pain coping strategies.
  • To assess the reliability and validity of the Chronic Pain Coping Inventory (CPCI).
  • To examine the relationship between coping strategies and patient adjustment.

Main Methods:

  • Development and item analysis of a 104-item measure in 176 chronic pain patients.
  • Reliability testing using two-week retest data from 111 patients.

  • Cross-validation in a second sample (n=78) using patient and significant other reports.

    • Main Results:

    • A 65-item, 11-dimension Chronic Pain Coping Inventory (CPCI) was finalized.
    • CPCI scales demonstrated good reliability and validity, supported by patient and significant other ratings.
    • Four CPCI scales predicted patient adjustment, while eight scales showed strong patient-significant other agreement.

    Conclusions:

    • The Chronic Pain Coping Inventory (CPCI) is a reliable and valid measure for assessing chronic pain coping strategies.
    • CPCI findings can inform clinical interventions aimed at improving patient adjustment to chronic pain.
    • The measure provides valuable insights into patient-reported and observed coping behaviors.
