This study investigated the psychometric properties of a Korean version of the Pain Medication Attitude Questionnaire (K-PMAQ) for measuring the concern and beliefs about pain medication in patients with chronic pain. The data were collected from 152 patients with chronic pain visiting the pain center of University Hospital in Seoul, Korea. Exploratory factor analysis showed a 36-item, five-factor structure consisting of concern about pain medication, mistrust in doctor, necessity for pain medication, concerns over scrutiny from others, and social support. The 5 subscale as well as the total scores of the K-PMAQ had good internal consistency ranging from .83 to .93. The K-PMAQ also showed significant correlation with depression, anxiety, physical function, and under-use and over-use of pain medication. This study suggests that the K-PMAQ shows reliability and validity for the measurement of concern and belief about pain medication in a Korea patient sample with chronic pain.
