Research questions / Hypotheses

Research aim was to check the reliability and validity of Russian translation of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale by MAPI Research Fund (PCS – Russia/Russian – version of 03 Mar 2017 – Mapi, ID057817 / PCS_AU1.0_rus-RU.doc)

Participants / Sample description

N = 219 people (80,4% females). The average age of the participants was 22.05 years (median = 19.00 years, standard deviation = 6.74; age range from 18 to 54 years).

Apparatus and materials

Statistical methods

Cronbach’s Alpha and split-half Guttman’s alpha were used to check questionnaires’ internal reliability; exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was done to check the PCS structure; Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine the relations between the PCS, McGiIl Pain Questionnaire subscales, and HADS; Student’s t-test was used to compare male/female samples and low/high self-control samples on the PCS scores

Results

The Russian-language version of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale shows satisfactory reliability for the scales (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.82; 0.67 and 0.83, respectively), and high reliability in general (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.89). Estimates of pain catastrophizing are positively correlated with the estimates of pain strength and intensity (McGill Pain Questionnaire), as well as with the level of self-control (Brief Self-Control Scale): catastrophizing people, as a rule, have a lower level of self-control. Fit indices of confirmatory factor analysis (RMSEA = 0.08; 2 / df = 2.5; GFI = 0.90; SRMR = 0.7) characterize one- and three-factor models of pain catastrophizing as acceptable. Women showed a higher level of catastrophic pain in general, and differences were also found on the scale of Rumination, while there were no statistically significant differences on the scales of Magnification and Helplessness. Pain Catastrophizing is also positively correlated with anxiety and depression (HADS).
