Scale of attitudes of students studying in the field of health towards patients with chronic pain
The Attitude Scale of Health Students towards Patients with Chronic Pain is a 5-point Likert scale and has 18 items. It consists of two factors: sensitivity orientation and error orientation. The Cronbach's Alpha coefficients are 0.88 and 0.75 for the first and second factors, respectively. Each factor gets a separate score. Each item in the factors receives a score between "1" and "5". The scores are summed up and divided by the number of items, then a score between 1 and 5 is obtained, thus a standard evaluation of two factors can be done. There is no cut-off score in the scale. An increased score from the sensitivity and misconception orientation factors indicates that healthcare professionals' attitude towards patients with chronic pain is positively strong. On the other hand, a low score on these factors indicates a strong negative attitude.

Chronic pain management knowledge test
The knowledge test on chronic pain management was created by the researchers in line with the literature. The knowledge test for chronic pain management includes 24 case-based five-choice multiple-choice questions. In this test, each correct answer is 1 point and a wrong answer is zero. The total score is obtained by adding the scores obtained from the test. The highest score that can be obtained from the test is 24, and the lowest score is zero. An increase in the score obtained from the test indicates that the participant's level of knowledge about chronic pain management increases, while a decrease in the score indicates a low level of knowledge.
