Acceptance of pain in adolescents with chronic pain: Validation of an adapted assessment instrument and preliminary correlation analyses
European Journal of Pain, 05/27/09

McCracken LM et al. - Results supported the reliability and validity of the CPAQ-A. Correlation analyses showed that higher levels of acceptance were associated with lower levels of distress and disability, but not with lower pain intensity. Regression analyses were carried out to assess the independent contribution of acceptance after pain intensity and demographic variables were taken into account. In these analyses acceptance accounted for significant variance in disability, psychological distress, and developmental and family functioning. The authors discuss developmental aspects of acceptance in adolescents and clinical implications of these findings.
