Objectives The present study aimed to develop the J apanese version of the Pain Self‐Efficacy Questionnaire ( PSEQ‐J ) and to evaluate its psychometric properties. Design Cross‐sectional design. Setting A pain clinic, a neurosurgery unit, and an orthopedic surgery unit in one university hospital and a pain clinic in a municipal hospital. Methods One hundred and seventy‐six participants completed study measures, which included 1) the PSEQ ‐ J , 2) the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, 3) the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, 4) the Medical Outcome Study Short‐Form 36, 5) the Pain Disability Assessment Scale, and 6) the Short‐Form M c G ill Pain Questionnaire. Results The PSEQ ‐ J demonstrated adequate reliability and validity. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that pain self‐efficacy as measured with the PSEQ ‐ J accounted for a significant proportion of the variance on the measures administered in the present study. The PSEQ ‐ J was most strongly associated with social activity. Conclusions The results demonstrated that the PSEQ ‐ J has adequate psychometric properties, supporting its use in clinical and research settings and suggest that the PSEQ ‐ J may be particularly strongly associated with more social and less physical activity.
