Objectives: Measuring pain self-efficacy is suggested as relevant in patients with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in a primary care setting. However, there is no pain self-efficacy questionnaire (PSEQ) available in Swedish. The aim of this study was to translate and culturally adapt PSEQ-2 to Swedish and evaluate reliability and validity in a population of patients with MSDs.
Methods: A translation and cultural adaptation together with psychometric evaluation of reliability and validity were performed according to guidelines with three groups of participants with MSDs. First, a convenient sample of 25 individuals were interviewed in the translation process. Next, 61 participants completed the test-retest survey via social media or QR codes in waiting rooms in rehabilitation clinics. Finally, to evaluate construct validity questionnaires were obtained from 132 participants with MSDs in an ongoing randomized controlled trial.
Results: The Swedish version of PSEQ-2 showed adequate face and content validity. The results of 0.805 on Cohen's weighted kappa indicate that the reliability of PSEQ-2SV in a group of adults with MSDs is on the border between substantial and almost perfect. The point estimate regarding relative rank variance, measuring the individual variation within the group, and relative concentration, the systematic change in how the assessments are concentrated on the scale's categories, shows minor systematic differences and some random differences not neglectable. The construct validity of pre-defined hypotheses was met to some degree.
Conclusion: The PSEQ-2SV has been accurately linguistically translated and tested for reliability and validity, in a population of MSDs, and is deemed to be able to be used in the clinic and in research. As there were some concerns regarding measurement error and systematic bias, more research could be of value.

Background: Musculoskeletal pain (MSKP) disorders entail a significant burden for individuals and healthcare systems. The PainSMART-strategy has been developed aiming to reduce divergences between patients and healthcare practitioners in their understanding of MSKP by providing a shared basis for communication and to facilitate patients' self-management of MSKP. The objective of the PainSMART-project is to evaluate the effects of the PainSMART-strategy as an adjunct to usual physiotherapy management compared to usual physiotherapy management alone.

Objective: Although childhood cancer survivors require lifelong "risk-based" follow-up care, most adult survivors do not receive such care, and many are lost during the transition from pediatric to adult follow-up care. The goal of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the "Managing Your Health" self-management and peer mentoring intervention to improve transition readiness and self-management skills among young adult survivors of childhood cancer.
Methods: Survivors of childhood cancer ages 18-25 years were randomized 1:1 to the Managing Your Health intervention (six video/phone calls with a peer mentor, another young adult survivor, and five online educational modules) or usual care.

Despite advancements in chronic arthritis treatment, there remains a significant demand for advanced nanotechnologies capable of efficiently delivering a wide range of therapeutic agents to provide symptomatic relief and facilitate the healing of inflamed cartilage tissue. Considering the significant impact of hypoxia on the development and maintenance of chondral tissue, replicating its effects on stem cells could be a potential approach for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). Cobalt is a prominent hypoxia-inducing agent, owing to its ability to activate the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway regardless of cellular oxygen levels.
