Detailed Description
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, progressive, inflammatory, autoimmune disease of unknown etiology, mainly affecting synovial joints, causing loss of function. The main reason that directs RA patients to medical treatment is pain. Chronic pain causes limitation of movement, sleep problems, fatigue, stress and depression, as well as physiological and psychological problems that cause negative effects on the quality of life of the individual. The patient's thoughts, expectations, and methods of coping with pain are effective in pain control. In order to identify and treat the painful condition, individual coping methods of the patient and the effectiveness of these methods should be evaluated. This study was planned to adapt the Vanderbilt Multidimensional Pain Coping Inventory into Turkish, to investigate its cultural adaptation, validity and reliability. The study was completed with 352 volunteers who fulfilled the criteria to be included in the Rheumatology Clinic of Istanbul Haydarpasa Numune Training and Research Hospital. Data collection tools used in the study; Demographic Data Form, Mcgill and Melzack Pain Questionnaire, Short Form-36 (SF-36), Vanderbilt Multidimensional Pain Coping Inventory (VMPCI), Pain Coping Inventory (PCI), Pain Coping Scale were used. The language validity of the Turkish form of the scale was provided by the translation-back translation method. Expert opinion was obtained for scale of validity. In order to evaluate the reliability of the Turkish version of the scale; internal consistency coefficient, test retest and parallel form methods were used. After all these analyzes, the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the VMPCI scale was obtained.
