Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to validate the Pain Catastrophizing Scale in adult population from the city of Medellin, in patients at an odontological treatment. The sample was 343 people. Descriptive statistics and bivariated analysis were calculated for the scale and the subscales that compose it (magnification, rumination and helplessness) according to sex, age and speciality. Correlation coefficients with Visual Analogue Scale were calculated too. No statistical significant differences were found between the levels of catastrophizing, according to age, sex and clinical speciality by which the patient was taken care of. The same happened with the three subescales. There was a statistically significant moderate correlation between both scales. The internal consistency level for the scale was high (0.88).
