Outcome measures
Primary outcome
To study test-retest reliability of the PHODA-youth patients will be asked to
fill in an electronic version of the PHODA-youth twice: at entry and two weeks
later. Secondly, to study the construct-validity of the PHODA-youth, patients
will be asked to complete an additional questionnaire including criterion
variables (anxiety sensitivity, pain catastrophizing, pain intensity,
depression, disability) during their first assessment. Based on the current
study, the following psychometric properties of the PHODA-youth: internal
consistency, test-retest reliability and construct validity will be determined.
Secondary outcome
not applicable
Background summary
Cognitive-behavioral models of chronic low back pain (CLBP) predict that
dysfunctional
assumptions about the harmfulness of activities may maintain pain-related fear
and disability levels. To assess perceived harmfulness in children and
adolescents the PHODA-youth has recently been developed based on information
out of earlier elements of the current study (NL27921.068.09). Information on
the methodological quality of the PHODA-youth is currently lacking.
Study objective
The aim of this study is to investigate psychometric properties (the
test-retest reliability, construct validity) of the PHODA-youth in adolescents
with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Study design
Test-retest design.
Study burden and risks
As there are no invasive interventions, nor any untested experimental
measurements used, no significant additional risk to the assessment of therapy
of the patients is anticipated.
