Sickle cell disease pain: Relation of coping strategies CSQ-SCD Gil K.M., Abrams M.R., Phillips G. and Keefe F.J. (1989). Sickle cell disease pain: Relation of coping strategies to adjustment. Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 57, 725-731. Demonstrated validity with SCD populations USA and UK; several publications. Self The CSQ-SCD consists of 78 items, which make up seven scales related to coping with pain in general: Diverting attention, Reinterpreting pain sensations, Calming self-statements, Ignoring pain sensations, Praying and hoping, Catastrophising, and Increasing activity level; together with six scales developed as specifically relevant to sickle cell disease: Fear self-statements, Anger self-statements, Isolation, Taking fluids, Resting, and Heat/cold/massage. Patients rated their use of each response from 0 = never to 6 = always, and scores were averaged to produce a mean for each scale. Two additional aspects were assessed by single items: perceived ability to control pain was rated from 0 = no control to 6 = complete control, and perceived ability to decrease pain was rated from 0 = can't decrease it at all to 6 = can decrease it completely.
