A strong association between the Dutch PSEQ-2 and the PRWHE was found in this sample of hand therapy patients. This study was limited by the use of retrospective data and by the lack of validation of the Dutch PSEQ-2. The findings were consistent with existing research which reported similar correlations between upper extremity PROM scores and pain self-efficacy. The positively worded PSEQ presents a chance to routinely assess pain self-efficacy as a key psychological factor while also affirming a positive coping strategy.
