Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS; 13 items; factors: rumination, helplessness, magnification) (Sullivan 1995) measures trait catastrophizing in the context of actual or anticipated pain. Currently, there is no validated tool for measuring pain catastrophizing at the daily level. Lack of a validated daily measure stands as a barrier for studies that aim to characterize mechanisms of pain treatment and how PC adaptation / change occurs.

Sample 1

In Sample 1 (N=186), our 14-item Daily PCS was administered daily for 14 days to replicate the 3-factor structure at the daily level, and to select the ideal 5 items for a brief Daily PCS.

Questionnaires

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Sample 2

In Sample 2 (N=209), the 5-item Daily PCS was administered daily for 14 days with short forms for PROMIS Pain Intensity, Depression, Anger, and Anxiety included on days 1, 7, and 14.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Sample 3

In Sample 3 (N=318), the 5-item Daily PCS was administered daily for 14 days with short forms for PROMIS Pain Intensity, Depression, Anger, and Anxiety included on days 1, 7, and 14. In addition, assessments of pain, mood, activity, sleep, energy level, and positive affect were administered daily for the 14-day period.
