Este estudo objetivou examinar a validade e a fidedignidade da sub-escala de Pensamentos Catastróficos da Escala Pain Related Self-Statement numa população brasileira com dor crônica. Estudo de corte transversal realizado com uma amostra de conveniência de 311 pacientes. As propriedades psicométricas da Escala de Pensamentos Catastróficos foram examinadas analisando a fidedignidade e validade deste instrumento. O escore médio da Escala de Pensamentos Catastróficos foi 2,38 (DP= 1,38). O coeficiente de correlação Cronbach foi 0,89 e o coeficiente de correlação Pearson entre as metades foi de 0,74, indicando adequada consistência interna e correlação entre suas metades. A análise de componentes principais indicou a presença de dois componentes (desesperança e ruminação). Indicadores de validade de critério e discriminante também foram adequados. Houveram correlações significativas entre a Escala de Pensamentos Catastróficos e incapacidade, intensidade e local da dor. Dentre as variáveis estudadas, catastrofização foi o maior preditor de incapacidade, superando intensidade da dor. Os resultados deste estudo confirmaram a adequação das propriedades psicométricas da Escala de Pensamentos Catastróficos para pacientes brasileiros e a contribuição de pensamentos catastróficos para a incapacidade física. Os resultados deste estudo foram consistentes com os publicados na literatura.
