(SOPA, Jensen, Turner and Romano, 2000) is one of the most commonly used instruments of beliefs with patients with chronic pain. Purpose: To describe the psychometric properties of the Survey of Pain Attitudes (SOPA-35) in Greek clinical population. Methods: The 35-item SOPA consists of seven factors (five items each). The questionnaire was administered in 376 patients (114 men, 262 women) with a mean age of 45.52 years (SD= 14.18) andwith chronic cervical and lumbar pain with a mean duration of 34.35 months (SD= 39.37). The SPSS 17.00 was used to estimate the test–retest reliability (intra-class correlation), the internal consistency (Cronbach α), and the factor structure (exploratory factor analysis-EFA). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test the integrity of the hypothesized factor structure for each factor, using structural equation modelling (EQS 5.7b). Results: The SOPA questionnaire factors suggested high levels of test–retest reliability which ranged from .85 to .98, whereas Cronbachs’ α values were acceptable (Cronbachs’ α range from .72 to .80). The EFA yielded a seven-factor solution with factor loadings from .39 to .93, eigenvalues of .41 to .92 which accounted for 61.62% of the total variance. Thus, EFA revealed the same structure as in the original version of the questionnaire and indicated a marginal fit to the data. CFA procedures indicated a rather acceptable fit to the data (NNFI = 91, CFI = .91, RCFI = .95, SRMR= .09, RMSEA= .10). Conclusion(s): The results provide adequate psychometric support for the instrument. Implications: These results make available a suitable instrument for chronic pain in the Greek population and will facilitate cross-cultural research on pain beliefs in the future.
