Key Points

To examine the psychometric properties of the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) and assess the clinical utility of measuring task confidence within the specific context of ongoing pain.
Reviewed accumulated psychometric evidence from published literature examining the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire across diverse pain populations.
Conducted a confirmatory psychometric analysis using a large cohort of heterogeneous chronic pain patients participating in a specialized pain management program.
Confirmed the original psychometric properties and structural validity of the PSEQ established initially in patients with chronic low back pain.
Demonstrated that incorporating pain-contingent self-efficacy beliefs enhances clinical assessment and evaluation of functional outcomes before and after chronic pain interventions.
