Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Questionnaires are available to measure expectations based on patient and treatment expectations in musculoskeletal disorders. In order to elucidate the factors that change expectations in the treatment of pain, more valid and reliable measurement tools are needed to measure the expectations of patients. The validity and reliability made in Turkey, there is no comprehensive study that measures the expectations of treatment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to test the Turkish validity and characteristics of the Chronic Pain Expectations Scale in patients with pain due to chronic musculoskeletal disorders.

Detailed Description

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

Considering the multidimensionality of pain experience, multidisciplinary approaches are accepted as gold standards in the treatment of pain . Pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, therapeutic therapies and treatment beliefs are generally considered to be key to these approaches. However, clinically significant pain treatment responses have not yet been clearly defined . Research suggests that their expectations may be one of the key components in the treatment of pain.

Expectation refers to the complex interplay of thoughts, values, and beliefs that are composed of past experiences and represent an assessment of expected outcomes specific to a situation. Four types of expectations have been proposed: ideal (desires and outcome preferences), predicted (expected outcome), normative (what one thinks should be) and unformed (not explicitly expressed). Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of expectations in pain experience. Expecting pain reduction is usually associated with decreased pain intensity and improved treatment outcomes. In contrast, expecting increased pain is associated with increased pain. Complex and severe expectations may also affect treatment response. A person's level of participation in the treatment plan can be greatly influenced by expectations. Waiting for the full recovery of chronic pain as a result of treatment may pose an obstacle to functioning and quality of life.

Questionnaires are available to measure expectations based on patient and treatment expectations in musculoskeletal disorders. In order to elucidate the factors that change expectations in the treatment of pain, more valid and reliable measurement tools are needed to measure the expectations of patients. The validity and reliability made in Turkey, there is no comprehensive study that measures the expectations of treatment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to test the Turkish validity and characteristics of the Chronic Pain Expectations Scale in patients with pain due to chronic musculoskeletal disorders.

The study will be conducted on 198 volunteer individuals who apply to Baskent University Ankara Hospital Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department and will receive treatment due to chronic musculoskeletal diseases. Each individual participating in the study will be informed about the study.

Patients with pain due to chronic musculoskeletal disorders, native speakers of Turkish, those over the age of 18 and under 65 and literate individuals will be included in the study. Individuals with neurological disease and no pain problems will not be included in the study.

Treatment Expectations Scale in Chronic Pain, Positivity Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Disease Cognition Questionnaire will apply.

Translating the Questionnaire into Turkish and Related Processes

The first step is the translation from the original language to the other language. The ideal target in the translation phase is to use people who are familiar with the structure of the original language and who are familiar with the language. Two forward translation and one reverse translation methods will be applied after obtaining the written permission of the authors. After the completion of this phase, the terminological differences arising from the translators in the translation process from the original language to Turkish will be collected and discussed on the questions. The cultural adaptation study will be terminated by determining the equivalence between the Turkish version of the index and the English original. The final version of the questionnaire and the necessary changes will be arranged specific to the investigator's society and the authors of the original questionnaire will be consulted and the questionnaire will be finalized.

Intervention Type OTHER

Validity

The scale will be applied by face-to-face technique and convergent (moderate-high correlation with optimism measure) and distant (low correlation with depression and anxiety measures) validity will be evaluated.
