Utne I et al. - The aims of this study of oncology outpatients with cancer pain were to perform an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) of the 48-item Coping Strategy Questionnaire (CSQ) and a confirmatory factor analysis of the 6-factor solution of the Coping Strategy Questionnaire-Revised (CSQ-R) suggested by Riley and Robinson in 1997...The EFA of the original 48-item CSQ did not reproduce the factor structure defined by Rosentiel and Keefe. The 6-factor structure from the 27-item CSQ-R fit both the inpatient and outpatient data well with strong factorial invariance, as well as the combined data, allowing some correlated errors among items. Differences were found between the 2 samples for the ignoring, catastrophizing, and praying latent factor means, and for the catastrophizing and praying subscale means. The 27-item CSQ-R is recommended for use as a clinical instrument. However, further research of the 6-factor structure is recommended to identify reasons for the correlated errors.
