Description
The SOPA helps you understand the pain-related beliefs of your chronic pain patients. Both adaptive and maladaptive beliefs are assessed. The Adaptive Beliefs scales consist of Control and Emotion; Maladaptive Beliefs scales consist of Disability, Harm, Medication, Solicitude, and Medical Cure. Patients are asked to indicate their level of agreement with 57 statements using a 5-point Likert scale. Can be used in a variety of testing situations, including pretreatment screening to determine treatment necessity, pretreatment and posttreatment to determine treatment effectiveness, and periodic reevaluations to document treatment progress.
