The Good Pain Consultation in Endometriosis.

The Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) is a 10 item self-report questionnaire which assesses confidence people with ongoing pain have in performing activities despite pain. Self-efficacy regarding household chores, socializing, work and coping without medication are assessed.

The PSEQ is translated to Norwegian and used in previous Norwegian studies.
