The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) has been psychometrically evaluated worldwide in adult patients with cancer-related and chronic pain in several languages, but never in nursing home residents with chronic pain. To address this gap, we evaluated the validity of a modified version of the BPI (BPI-NHR) in individuals residing in German nursing homes. One analytic sample comprised 137 nursing home residents (mean age, 83.3 years; SD, 8.0 years) without any missing values. An extended sample included also individuals with previous missing values that were substituted with the personal mean (n=163; mean age, 83.3 years; SD, 8.3 years).
