Support for the Spanish version of the CPAQ-8 as a measure of chronic pain acceptance
Abstract
Aim and objective: To provide evidence regarding the psychometric properties of the Spanish eight‐item version of the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ‐8). Method: Three hundred adults with chronic pain completed measures of pain acceptance, committed action, fear of movement, anxiety, depression, and health‐related quality of life. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the CPAQ‐8 was performed. Reliability and validity were also evaluated. Results: The CFA confirmed a two‐factor structure. The CPAQ‐8 Total and subscale scores showed acceptable‐to‐good internal consistency. Furthermore, the Total and the Activity Engagement scale scores showed moderate associations with Committed Action scores, supporting construct validity. Both the Total and the two subscale scores showed good criterion validity. Conclusion: The findings provide further support for the reliability and validity of the Spanish version of the CPAQ‐8 Total and subscale scores.

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.
