Brief Summary

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Treatment Expectations Scale in Chronic Pain

  The Chronic Pain Treatment Expectations Scale is a self-report questionnaire that measures the ideal and predicted expectations of patients. The items are designed to measure two aspects of expectations; ie process and result expectations. The instructions are as follows: The following questions are about your expectation for treatment for your chronic pain. For each question, please tick the box that is most appropriate, (1) What do you expect to be ideal during the healthcare appointment (s) (in the ideal world, what do you want it to happen) (2) What do you expect to be realistic during the healthcare appointment (s) (2) in real life, what do you actually expect). For each item, patients are asked to select the extent to which they will participate in an ideal and predicted expectations on a 5-point scale (1 = strongly disagree 5 = strongly agree). Thus, each item is scored twice by the participants.

Interventions

Translating the Questionnaire into Turkish and Related Processes OTHER

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.

Validity OTHER

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.

Reliability OTHER

The reliability of the materials will be tested with Cronbach alpha.
