Resumen :
Objectives: Avoidance, persistence, and pacing are activity patterns that have different adaptive effects in chronic pain patients. Some inconsistent findings have been explained from a contextual perspective that underlines the purpose of the activity. In this way, avoidance, persistence, and pacing are multidimensional constructs, nuanced by their goals. This multidimensionality has been supported with a new instrument, the Activity Patterns Scale, in heterogeneous chronic pain samples. Owing to the clinical implications of this conceptualization, the complexity of the activity patterns and their relationships with health outcomes in fibromyalgia (FM), our aim was to explore the construct validity of this scale in this pain problem, testing its internal structure and the relationships with other constructs. Materials and Methods: The sample included 702 women with diagnosis of FM from tertiary (53.3%) and community settings (46.7%). Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to test different factor structures of the activity patterns and Pearson correlation to explore the relationships with health outcomes and psychosocial variables. Results: A 6-factor structure showed acceptable fit indices (standardized root mean square residual=0.062; root mean-square error of approximation=0.066; comparative fit index=0.908). The highest significant relationships for health outcomes was between activity avoidance and FM impact (r= 0.36) and excessive persistence and negative affect (r=0.41). Discussion: Avoidance and persistence activity patterns are shown as multidimensional constructs but not pacing. The ongoing pain in these women may make it difficult to regulate their activity taking into account other goals not contingent on pain fluctuations
