Data analysis
Analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and appropriate reliability and validity statistical tests using SPSSSPSS 15.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Content validity was assessed using an expert panel. Internal consistency was determined using Cronbach’s a coefficient. Test–retest measurement was assessed using Pearson’s correlations and a Wilcoxon’s signed-rank test with a 24-hour interval. Convergent validity was measured by comparing the Turkish version of SF-MPQ responses with the results of the NRS. SF-MPQ Discriminant construct validity was determined by Pearson’s ICC 95% CI correlations with the patient’s blood pressure values.
