| Brief Description |
The aim of the study was to address the structure and potential utility of the factors underlying the CPAQ. Factor structure was evaluated using both exploratory and confirmatory factor analytic techniques. In addition, a series of cluster analyses were performed to explore whether specific subgroups of patients could be identified based on their responses to the subscales of this inventory. Finally, the validity of the identified clusters was explored by assessing whether they differed meaningfully on measures of physical and psychological functioning. |

| Brief Description |
A systematic review of the literature of the psychometric properties of questionnaires including Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ), Illness Cognitions Questionnaire (ICQ), Pain Solutions Questionnaire (PASOL) and Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS) adapted to pain. Content construct, criterion validity, internal consistency, agreement, reliability, responsiveness, floor/ceiling effects and interpretability, were assessed using a standardized protocol (Terwee et al 2007). |

The 20-item CPAQ-revised has been designed to measure acceptance of pain. Two factors-structure: 1. Activity engagement (AE, pursuit of life activities regardless of pain) and 2. Pain willingness (PW, recognition that avoidance and control are often unworkable methods of adapting of chronic pain). |
| Number of Items | 20 |
| Range | --- |

Yes from 0 (never true) to 6 (always true) |
| Developed for | Both |
| PRACTICAL APPLICATION | |
| Method of administration | Self-administered |
| Recommendations to score |
To score the CPAQ-R, add the items for 1. Activity engagement and 2. Pain willingness to obtain a score for each factor. To obtain the total score, add the scores for each factor together. |
| Score Interpretation | Higher scores indicate higher levels of acceptance. Range of scores: 0-120. |
