Will This Treatment Help My Child?: How Parent/Caregiver Treatment Expectations Relate to Intensive Pain Rehabilitation Outcomes for Youth With Chronic Pain.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

An extensive body of research has highlighted the impact that parent/caregiver factors have on functioning and treatment outcomes among youth with chronic pain. However, parent/caregiver expectations in pain treatment have been largely understudied, despite strong evidence that treatment expectations are associated with treatment engagement and overall outcomes in nonpain populations. Accordingly, the primary aim of this investigation was to preliminarily examine the manifestation and measurement of parent/caregiver treatment expectations in an intensive interdisciplinary pediatric pain treatment (IIPT) setting.

Methods

Participants in this study (N=328) included children and adolescents who attended an IIPT program for chronic pain between August 2013 and March 20
