Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Psychological pain is understood as an intolerable and disturbing mental state characterized by an internal experience of negative emotions. This study was aimed at making a Spanish adaptation of the Psychache Scale by Holden and colleagues in a sample of young adults.
METHODS: The scale evaluates psychological pain as a subjective experience. It is composed of 13 items with a Likert-type response format. Following the guidelines of the International Tests Commission for the adaptation of the test, we obtained a version conceptually and linguistically equivalent to the original scale. Through an online questionnaire, participants completed the psychological pain scale along with other scales to measure depression (BDI-II), hopelessness (Beck\'s scale of hopelessness) and suicide risk (Plutchik suicide risk scale). The participants were 234 people (94 men, 137 women and three people who identified as a different sex) from 18 to 35 years old.
RESULTS: The EFA showed a one-factor solution, and the FCA revealed adequate indexes of adjustment to the unifactorial model. It also showed good reliability of the test scores. The evidence of validity of the scale in relation to the other variables showed high, positive and statistically significant correlations with depression, hopelessness, suicidal ideation and suicidal risk.
CONCLUSIONS: In summary, this Spanish adaptation of the Psychache Scale could contribute to improving the evaluation of both the patient with suicide risk and the effectiveness of psychological therapy, as well as suicidal behaviour prevention and intervention.

摘要：
背景：心理疼痛被理解为一种难以忍受和令人不安的精神状态，其特征是负面情绪的内部体验。这项研究旨在使霍顿及其同事在年轻人样本中对西班牙的心理疼痛量表进行改编。
方法：量表将心理疼痛评估为主观体验。它由13个项目组成，具有Likert类型的响应格式。遵循国际测试委员会关于调整测试的准则，我们获得了在概念上和语言上等同于原始量表的版本。通过在线问卷，参与者完成了心理疼痛量表和其他量表来测量抑郁(BDI-II)，绝望（贝克的绝望量表）和自杀风险（Plutchik自杀风险量表）。参与者为234人（94名男性，137名妇女和3名确定为不同性别的人），年龄从18岁到35岁。
结果：EFA显示出单因素解决方案，FCA揭示了对单因子模型的适当调整指标。它还显示了测试分数的良好可靠性。该量表相对于其他变量的有效性证据显示出较高，与抑郁症呈正相关且具有统计学意义，绝望,自杀意念和自杀风险。
结论：总之，这种西班牙改编的心理疼痛量表可能有助于提高对自杀风险患者和心理治疗有效性的评估，以及自杀行为的预防和干预。
