Purpose: The aim of this study was to validate the Greek version of the Strategic and Clinical Quality Indicators in Postoperative Pain Management (SCQIPP) questionnaire.
Design: The study was designed as a prospective questionnaire survey.
Methods: Overall, 210 elective surgical patients were included . SCQIPP consisted of 14 items that were scored on a five point scale. After the translation and linguistic adjustments, the tool was distributed to the surgical wards. Internal consistency reliability was assessed by Cronbach's alpha. The tool construct was generated by a principal axis factoring model with promax rotation.
Findings: Base Cronbach's alpha was 0.814. Due to low inter-item and item-total correlations and the increase of Cronbach's alpha (0.834) when item two was deleted, 13 items were included in the current tool version. Factor analysis identified three district subscales: nursing care, pain management, and support. Subscale and convergent validity were confirmed. The mean score of the validated tool was 55.2 (Range: 44-63). A low level of care was highlighted in most items.
Conclusions: The Greek version of the SCQIPP questionnaire is a valid and efficient tool for the evaluation of the quality of care of postoperative pain management.

Introduction: Elbow ailments are common, but conventional treatment modalities have shortcomings, offering only interim pain relief rather than targeting the underlying pathophysiology. The last two decades have seen a marked increase in the use of autologous peripheral blood-derived orthobiologics (APBOs), such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), to manage elbow disorders. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is the most widely used APBO, but its efficacy remains debatable.

Music has long been recognized as a noninvasive and cost-effective means of reducing pain. However, the selection of music for pain relief often relies on intuition rather than on a scientific understanding of the impact of basic musical attributes on pain perception. This study examines how a fundamental element of music-tempo-affects its pain-relieving properties.
