| DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT | |
| Type Of Measure | Scale |
| Brief Description |
The Pain Resilience Scale represents a novel measure of Cognitive/Affective Positivity and Behavioral Perseverance during exposure to noxious stimuli. The assessment has 2 subscales to measure specific domains of resilience: behavioral perseverance and cognitive/affective positivity. The behavioral perseverance subscale examines an individual’s ability to continue engaging in behaviors or activity when experiencing pain. The cognitive/affective positivity subscale examines an individual’s ability to maintain positive thoughts and manage negative thoughts or emotions while in pain. |
| Number of Items | 14 |
| Range | 0-56 |
| Responses options/scale |
Yes From 0 (not at all) to 4 (all the time) |
| Developed for | Both |
| PRACTICAL APPLICATION | |
| Method of administration | Interviewer/assessor, Self-administered |
| Recommendations to score |
Each item is scored from 0 (not at all) to 4 (all the time) to determine the degree to which individuals engage in resiliency resources. The total PRS score results from the summation of response to all 14 items |
| Score Interpretation | Higher scores are suggestive of greater pain related resilience |
| Cut-off points | --- |
| Cut-off points applied to | --- |
| Smallest detectable change if described | --- |
| Smallest detectable change applied to | --- |
| Completion time by the patient | - minutes |
| Scoring time by the assessor | - minutes |
| Training to score | Not necessary |
| Strengths | Easy to use, Useful in clinical practice & research |

| Other Comments |
Predictive validity is shown by individual differences in response to acute experimental pain |
