The current study aimed to translate the PDQ into Serbian and validate its psychometric properties. Following a standard translation process, a total of 554 chronic pain patients (average age 55.37 \u00b1 12.72 years; 375 (67.5%) females) completed the PDQ-Serb, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Short Form-36 (SF-36), pain intensity rating and a six-minute walk test (6MWT). Responsiveness was examined in a subsample of 141 patients who completed an inpatient rehabilitation program. The internal consistency of the PDQ-Serb was excellent (Cronbach \u03b1 = 0.92) and test-retest reliability was favorable (ICC = 0.87). Factor analyses found a bifactor model to be the best fit (CFI = 0.97: TLI = 0.96: RMSEA = 0.05; SRMR = 0.03). Statistically significant Pearson\u2019s coefficient correlations (p &lt; 0.001) were found between the PDQ-Serb and ODI (r = 0.786), SF-36 Physical Components summary (r = \u22120.659), SF-36 Mental Components summary (r = \u22120.493), pain intensity rating (r = 0.572), and 6MWT (r = \u22120.571). Significant post-treatment improvements following inpatient rehabilitation were found with the PDQ-Serb (p &lt; 0.001; effect size 0.431) and other clinical variables (p &lt; 0.001; effect sizes from 0.367 to 0.536). The PDQ-Serb was shown to be a reliable and valid self-report instrument for the evaluation of pain-related disability.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18136911","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,28]],"date-time":"2021-06-28T02:05:37Z","timestamp":1624845937000},"page":"6911","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Assessing the Functional Status of Patients with Chronic Pain\u2014Cross Cultural Adaptation and Psychometric Properties of the Serbian Version of the Pain Disability Questionnaire"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Aleksandar","family":"Kne\u017eevi\u0107","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Novi Sad, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"},{"name":"Medical Rehabilitation Clinic Clinical Centre of Vojvodina, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Petar","family":"\u010colovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Novi Sad, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Milica","family":"Jeremi\u0107-Kne\u017eevi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Novi Sad, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u010cila","family":"Deme\u0161i-Drljan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Novi Sad, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"},{"name":"Institute of Child and Youth Healthcare of Vojvodina, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Du\u0161ica","family":"Simi\u0107-Pani\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Novi Sad, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"},{"name":"Medical Rehabilitation Clinic Clinical Centre of Vojvodina, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Randy","family":"Neblett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PRIDE Research Foundation, Dallas, TX 75235, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"287","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejpain.2005.06.009","article-title":"Survey of chronic pain in Europe: Prevalence, impact on daily life, and treatment","volume":"10","author":"Breivik","year":"2006","journal-title":"Eur.
