\n\t\tBath Questionnaires\n\t<\/h4>\n\t

We have developed a number of questionnaire measures, two of which are available here for researchers and clinicians to use. They both index the concept of Acceptance as defined in the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) model. We provide links and copies of the questionnaires<\/strong> below. <\/p>\n

The widely-used Bath Adolescent Pain Questionnaire (BAPQ) was developed in collaboration with our colleagues from the Centre for Pain Research at the University of Bath – links to their page below. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"BCPS_Chronic_Pain_Measures_Questionaires\"\n\t

You are welcome to use these questionnaires freely for non-commercial clinical and research purposes. However, we find it stimulating to know how these instruments are being used; we invite you to email<\/a> us\u00a0to let us what you might be doing with these scales.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tAcceptance of Pain in Adolescents: CPAQ-A8 – short form of the CPAQ-A \n\t<\/h2>\n\t

Acceptance of pain is a powerful predictor of distress and functioning in adults and adolescents with chronic pain. This was initially measured with the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire for Adolescents (CPAQ-A). Here, we present a briefer, 8-item version that retains much of the power of the original<\/p>\n

The paper<\/strong><\/b>, Gauntlett-Gilbert et al. (2018), can be accessed at the journal website here<\/b><\/a>, with the full text pre-print here<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n

The actual questionnaire<\/strong><\/b> is available in Word format here<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n\n

\n\t\tAcceptance of Shame and Embarrassment \u2013 the ASES\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

Working with people with chronic pain, we have found that pain itself is not the only barrier to living well. In a society that often does not treat people with disabilities well, people with pain often encounter social awkwardness and embarrassment on a daily basis. <\/p>\n

We have developed a questionnaire that is designed to measure the ability to accept \/ be willing to experience such difficult emotions. It works well with people with chronic pain and also with younger adults with no obvious health problem. We feel confident that it may also prove useful for people with a range of health problems, particularly those with visible differences. <\/p>\n

\n\t\tBath Adolescent Pain Questionnaire (BAPQ) \n\t<\/h2>\n\tThis multi-scale instrument was one of the first to be designed specifically for youth with chronic pain.
