Validation of the Croatian Version of the Eight-Item Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ-8).
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundChronic pain is a serious health issue associated with significant functional and emotional impairment. Chronic pain acceptance, which can be described as engaging in valued activities despite ongoing pain, is associated with better psychological adjustment and quality of life. This study aimed to translate the Eight-Item Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ-8) into Croatian and investigate its reliability and validity.
methodsA total of 229 outpatients with chronic musculoskeletal pain completed the Croatian version of the CPAQ-8, as well as the SF-36 Health Status Questionnaire (SF-36), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PSC), and the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NRS).
resultsThe Croatian version of the CPAQ-8 demonstrated good internal consistency for the total score and its subscales, and the exploratory factor analysis revealed the original two-factor structure. Concurrent validity was supported through theoretically consistent correlations with psychological distress, quality of life, and pain-related constructs.
conclusionThe Croatian version of the CPAQ-8 is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing pain acceptance in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain and can be confidently used in both clinical practice and research settings.
