81-88

Purpose: Assessment of pain intensity in patients with chronic low back pain in correlation with the clinical picture and illness acceptance. Material and methods: The study group included 120 patients (67 males and 53 females) aged 43.07 ± 8.74 years (range: 18 – 62 years) diagnosed with lumbosacral spine discopathy. The study was conducted between 2008 - 2010. Assessment tools used for the study included: pain intensity scale and Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS). Results: Most often the pain was reported in the L4-L5 level of the lumbar spine. The duration of the illness ranged between 1-31 years (6.90 ± 6.47). The majority of the patients in the studied group were physical workers. Nearly half of the patients, 59 (49.16%) described their pain as moderate on a 5-point pain scale. No acceptance of illness according to the AIS scale was noted in 33 (27.5%) patients, the remaining 67 (72.5%) patients declared quite good and average good illness acceptance. We found no significant dependencies of the frequency of pain occurrence, pain intensity, its duration and the type of work. Conclusions: Pain reported due to chronic low back pain by the majority of the patients was of moderate intensity. No correlation was found between the pain and illness acceptance.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to validate the Trust in Physician Scale (TPS) for Polish patients. Materials and Methods: The validation of a Polish-language version of Anderson and Dedrick’s TPS was performed with a group of 849 patients. Validation consisted of the translation and evaluation of the psychometric properties of the Polish TPS and its application among Polish-speaking patients. We also explored the TPS with the patient’s sex, age, education, income, marital status, and number of physician visits. Results: The internal consistency of the Polish TPS was high (Cronbach’s alpha = .891). In our study, the TPS is positively associated with age, education, income, marital status, and number of physician visits. Also, we have found that the TPS is negatively associated with sex and place of residence. Conclusions: The Polish-language scale fulfills all the criteria of psychometric and functional validation with the original version of the Trust in Physician Scale.
