Abstract |
Studied the psychometric properties of the French-Canadian version of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-FC; S. H. Kori et al, 1990). The TSK-FC was administered to 70 male and female French-Canadian workers (aged 19-59 yrs) with various occupational injuries. The Beck Depression Inventory, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, subscales from the Pain Experience section of the West Haven-Yale Multidimensional Pain Inventory, and a questionnaire on disability also were completed. The results indicate satisfactory internal consistency for the TSK-FC. Construct validity analyses showed that higher levels of fear of movement and reinjury were associated with a higher level of perceived pain-related disability and with increased levels of psychological distress. Higher scores on the TSK-FC also were associated with lower levels of perceived life control and a decreased probability of work resumption following occupational rehabilitation.
