摘要:
Abstract: Objective:The purpose of our study was to investigate whether Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 cluster solutions of chronic low-back pain patients would replicate those found in previous research with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory.Setting:A multidisciplinary pain clinic in the southeastern United States.Patients:The subjects were 201 chronic low-back pain patients who had suffered a work-related back injury.Outcome Measures:The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2.Results:We found four relatively homogeneous subgroups of chronic low-back pain patients that were similar to those identified by previous researchers using data collected with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory.Conclusion:These findings indicate that interpretations of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 should parallel those of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory for chronic low-back pain patients. They further suggest that the results of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-based studies are also applicable to Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2.
