| Abstract |
Assessment of function and functional interference is an important component of chronic pain assessment and treatment and is commonly based on self-report questionnaires. Existing questionnaires for assessing functional interference are language dependent, which can limit their utility for patients across cultures with literacy, fluency, or cognitive restrictions. The objectives of this study were to create a tool with minimal language dependence and literacy requirement for measuring functional interference due to chronic pain and evaluate the psychometric properties and usability of this new assessment scale, the Pictorial Pain Interference Questionnaire (PPIQ), in a clinical sample of participants with chronic pain. The study employed a prospective, cross-sectional design in a clinical chronic pain setting. A total of 113 participants with chronic non-cancer pain were recruited from a private chronic pain clinic. A pictorial scale was developed and tested via psychometric procedures, including comparisons with validated measures of functional interference and related chronic pain constructs. Excellent internal consistency reliability (a=0.91), good construct validity (total score: r=0.72-0.81), and adequate-to-good convergent and discriminant validities were demonstrated through comparative analyses with existing self-report questionnaires. A scoring metric for classifying low, moderate, and high levels of interference was found to have good construct validity. Evaluation of satisfaction revealed adequate understanding of the PPIQ among most users. Initial support for the PPIQ as an alternative to language-based questionnaires for assessing functional interference from chronic pain was found. Subsequent research will help to clarify psychometric properties of the PPIQ and user response among various chronic pain subgroups. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 August 2019.
All research outputs
#13,622,705
of 23,096,849 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Pain Research
#940
of 1,773 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#169,968
of 328,121 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Pain Research
#30
of 48 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,096,849 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,773 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.0. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,121 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 48 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
