The Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CSQ) underwent confirmatory factor analysis. The Florida six-factor model demonstrated a superior fit, suggesting a revised CSQ-R for pain coping assessment.

Area of Science:

Psychological assessment
Pain management research

Background:

The Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CSQ) is a tool for assessing pain coping strategies.
Previous factor analyses of the CSQ have yielded inconsistent results, with some suggesting a five-factor structure.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare three different factor structures of the CSQ using confirmatory factor analysis.
To evaluate the fit of previously proposed five-factor models against a six-factor model derived from a larger sample.

Main Methods:

Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed using LISREL.
The study utilized a sample of 472 chronic pain patients.

Main Results:

The six-factor model developed by Robinson and colleagues (Florida model) showed a better fit to the data compared to the five-factor models.

This indicates that the six-factor structure is more representative of the coping strategies assessed by the CSQ in this patient sample.

Conclusions:

The Florida six-factor model provides a more robust structure for the CSQ.
Revision of the CSQ into a new version, the Coping Strategy Questionnaire Revised (CSQ-R), comprising 27 items, is recommended for improved pain coping assessment.
