Brief summary (from the registry)
Chronic pain in general is a substantial problem and is a source of a great deal of disability and suffering. It is known that processes like stigma and psychological flexibility (PF) play a significant role in these outcomes. At the same time, there are many specific chronic pain disorders and there is less knowledge about similarities and differences between these specific conditions, whether the role of processes like these vary between conditions or not. For studies that can address this to be done in Sweden, there will need to be adequately translated and validated measures of the key processes identified. The main aim of the current study is to look at whether the role of PF and stigma in pain-related outcomes differ across pain conditions. In support of that, a secondary aim is to first validate measures of stigma and PF in chronic pain populations. For this secondary aim, the current study seeks to investigate the factor structure, construct - and criterion validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability of a Swedish version of the Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory (MPFI) as well as of a Swedish version of the Stigma Scale for Chronic Illnesses (SSCI-8).
