Abstract
Background:Our study aimed to perform Hungarian cross-cultural adaptation and assess the reliability and validity of the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) in women diagnosed with endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain.Methods:The current study was conducted in Hungary among women aged 18–50 (34.39 ± 6.68 years). We examined the reliability of the Hungarian version of PSEQ (PSEQ-HU) by applying internal consistency and test–retest evaluations. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine the construct validity of the PSEQ-HU, while Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient established the convergent validity using the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey, numeric rating scale (NRS), Pain Catastrophizing Scale, and Perceived Stress Scale. To determine discriminant validity, two groups were created based on NRS (0–4 no or mild pain, 5–10 moderate or strong pain). The results were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 28.0 software with a significance level of p ≤0.05.Results:A total of 262 women participated in this study. The Cronbach’s α was 0.97, and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values showed adequate reliability (ICC = 0.94. 95% confidence interval 0.88–0.97) for the PSEQ-HU. Based on the Spearman’s correlation coefficients the convergent validity showed significant results (r = 0.22–0.63; p ≤0.001).Conclusion:We concluded that the PSEQ is a reliable and valid measurement among Hungarian women with endometriosis-related pelvic pain.
