Erfassung der Bereitschaft zur Änderung des BewÄltigungsverhaltens bei chronischen Schmerzpatienten

Abstract

Research question The transtheoretical model (TTM) describes the willingness of behavior change as a process characterized by six stages: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and termination. This study investigates the possibility to apply the TTM to the treatment of chronic pain patients. The main goal is the development of items for a self-administered instrument, which documents the willingness to use cognitive-behavioral methods for pain management independently. With this instrument a treatment can be assigned according to the patient's motivation in order to improve outcomes of pain management programs. Methods Based on TTM theory 56 items were developed and adminstered to a sample of 118 chronic pain patients, who were recruited via different facilities for pain therapy. Item- and factor analysis were conducted for determining psychometrical attributes of items and latent scales. Results Analyses resulted in four consistent scales and accordingly four distinctive stages: precontemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance, which showed sufficiently high indices of homogeneity and discriminant validity. The relationships between scale scores and sociodemographic and pain related variables proved to be in accordance to the theory. Conclusions The results show transferability of the TTM to pain management in general. Two stages, contemplation and termination, could not be identified yet. Mainly termination seems not to be existent in the…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
