Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Clinical Measurement

Background:

  • The Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI) is a widely used tool for assessing chronic pain.
  • Evaluating the psychometric properties of translated instruments is crucial for cross-cultural research and clinical application.
  • Previous versions of the MPI have demonstrated utility in various patient populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the psychometric properties of the Dutch translation of the Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI-DLV).
  • To assess the comparability of the MPI-DLV with its American and German counterparts.
  • To examine the construct validity of the 'general activity' scale and factor-invariance between patient groups.

Main Methods:

  • Psychometric evaluation of the MPI-DLV using data from 733 chronic pain patients.

  • Comparison of factorial structure, reliability, and validity indicators with American and German MPI versions.
  • Construct validation using bicycle ergometer tests and factor-invariance analysis between fibromyalgia and back pain patients.

    • Main Results:

    • The factorial structure of the MPI-DLV is replicated, with reliability and validity indicators comparable to international versions.
    • Patients scoring higher on the 'general activity' scale demonstrated better physical condition via ergometer testing.
    • Factorial structures of the MPI-DLV were similar between fibromyalgia and back pain patient groups, indicating sensitivity to treatment changes.

    Conclusions:

    • The Dutch MPI-DLV is a psychometrically sound instrument comparable to existing versions.
    • The 'general activity' scale effectively reflects physical condition in chronic pain patients.
    • The MPI-DLV is suitable for use across different chronic pain conditions and sensitive to treatment outcomes.
