| Abstract | UNLABELLED: The high prevalence of chronic debilitating pain in pediatric populations calls for more knowledge regarding the impact of pain on functioning or pain interference. This in turn requires valid and reliable instruments to adequately assess the impact of pain on functioning. Also, adequate measures of pain interference are important in evaluations of behavioral interventions aimed at improving functioning. OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the statistical properties of the Pain Interference Index (PII), including the factor structure, internal consistency, and concurrent criteria validity of the instrument. METHOD: Data were collected from a consecutive sample of children and adolescents referred to a tertiary pain clinic due to chronic pain (n = 163). A principal component analysis was used to investigate the latent factor structure of items. The internal consistency was assessed by Cronbach's alpha. A set of hierarchical regression analyses was conducted to evaluate the ability of instruments to predict levels of depression and functional disability. RESULTS: Analyses indicated the adequacy of a 1-factor solution with a total of 6 items. The intercorrelation between items and the scale's reliability was satisfactory. Furthermore, bivariate correlations and hierarchical regression analyses illustrate the concurrent criteria validity of the instrument. CONCLUSION: Results support the use of PII as an adequate instrument to assess pain interference in children and adolescents with chronic pain. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
