| Popis: | OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the validity of traditional pain behaviors (guarding, bracing, rubbing, grimacing, and sighing) in persons with and without cognitive impairment and chronic low back pain (CLBP). DESIGN: Prospective observational study. SETTING: Outpatient clinics. PARTICIPANTS: Thirty-seven cognitively intact and 40 cognitively impaired participants with and without CLBP. MEASUREMENTS: Frequency of traditional pain behaviors. RESULTS: Forty-six of the participants were pain free, and 31 had CLBP. The internal consistency reliability coefficient of the five pain behaviors was 0.32, suggesting that a uni-dimensional scale did not exist. Multivariate analysis of variance analysis according to the independent variables pain status (pain free vs CLBP) and cognitive status (intact vs impaired) with the dependent variable frequency of pain behaviors found significant differences according to pain status (F[5,61] = 3.06, P=.02) and cognitive status (F[5,61] =5.41, P |
