title: [Questionnaire "Coping Procedures - Goals and Appraisals": Development and First Psychometric Evaluation in Patients with Chronic Back Pain].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Development of a disease specific Common Sense Model of Self-Regulation (CSM) based questionnaire assessing 'coping procedures', and their 'appraisal'. In this article, we describe the questionnaire and conduct a psychometric evaluation of the 'coping procedures'.
  
  
  METHODS
  The item pool was generated in a multimodal way. Data were collected from 9 orthopedic rehabilitation centres, with longitudinal measurement at 3 points in time. The sample comprised N=214 rehabilitation patients.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The questionnaire comprises CSM-based items with respect to coping procedures, their goals, and their appraisal. The coping procedures items loaded onto 2 scales, which reflected coping procedures with a focus on activity vs. biomedicine. A confirmatory analysis of a model with these 2 factors indicated an acceptable model fit. The distribution characteristics of the scales were in the range of normal distribution. Internal consistency was acceptable. The data show construct validity, sensitivity to change, comprehensibility and acceptance of the questionnaire.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The psychometric results were satisfactory. The practical implications of our results are discussed.
