Assessing the Effects of Educational Training Aimed to Improve Pain-reporting Reliability in Children After Surgery

12 marzo 2020 aggiornato da: University of Haifa

Treating pain, just as treating other medical conditions, depends on accurate assessment of patient's condition. When assessing pain, as other subjective symptoms, the challenge is twofold because the assessment is dependent on patient's understanding and use of the scale, all the more so in children

So far, attempts to improve pain assessments have been focused on the development and refining pain scales. No emphasis has been placed on improving patient's ability to report their pain. Our purpose is to evaluate a training program designed to improve the quality of children's post-surgical pain intensity reports.

After receiving Helsinki approval, eligible children and their parents will signed informed-consent. After surgery, the children, their parents, and the department nurses will assess children's pain intensity. Immediately after the nurse assessment, parents will assess their child's pain (blindly and independently) and the children will report their pain on four different pain scales.

Children aged 8-17, hospitalized in Rambam medical-center for elective surgery will be invited to participate. Children in the experimental group will be exposed to a training program, developed for this study, aimed to teach and train how to report pain. The control group will receive the standard pre-surgical instructions.

Armi e interventi

Gruppo di partecipanti / Arm
Intervento / Trattamento
Sperimentale: Interventional arm
The intervention, which was aimed to educate children on how to use pain scales and provide reliable pain assessments was based on a two short animation clips, lasting approximately 5 min each, and a short (5 min) guided interaction between the study nurse and the participants, in between the two clips.
The first animation clip focuses on the importance of pain assessment introduce three pain scales (categorical, NPS and faces) followed by explanations on their properties and on the appropriate way to use them.The second movie was aimed to provide an opportunity to implement the new knowledge in case studies
Altro: Control
Children underwent the routine pre-operative preparations, which included a section on pain assessment.
Routine preoperative preparations, which included a section on pain assessment instructions.

Cosa sta misurando lo studio?

Misure di risultato primarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Quality of pain intensity scores based on the concordance between pain reports on different scales.
Lasso di tempo: Pain intensity rating before analgesic consumption.
The average difference between scores reported on the different scales was calculated as follows: The difference between to pain scores reported on each possible pairs of two scales was calculated in absolute values. The average difference of the 6 pairs was calculated. The 5-point CAT was transformed into a 0-10 scale by multiplying its values by 2.5.
Pain intensity rating before analgesic consumption.
Quality of pain intensity scores based on the concordance between pain reports on different scales.
Lasso di tempo: Pain intensity rating one hour after analgesic consumption.
The average difference between scores reported on the different scales was calculated as follows: The difference between to pain scores reported on each possible pairs of two scales was calculated in absolute values. The average difference of the 6 pairs was calculated. The 5-point CAT was transformed into a 0-10 scale by multiplying its values by 2.5.
Pain intensity rating one hour after analgesic consumption.

Misure di risultato secondarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
The difference between children assessment vs. nurses assessment.
Lasso di tempo: NPS ratings before and one hour after analgesic consumption
The difference between children pain assessment vs. nurses assessment on a 0-10 numerical pain scale (NPS), in which 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 "the worst pain imaginable."
NPS ratings before and one hour after analgesic consumption
The average difference between children assessment vs. parents.
Lasso di tempo: NPS ratings before and one hour after analgesic consumption
The difference between children pain assessment vs. parents assessment on a 0-10 numerical pain scale (NPS), in which 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 "the worst pain imaginable."
NPS ratings before and one hour after analgesic consumption
The average decrease in pain following analgesia: NPS
Lasso di tempo: NPS ratings before and one hour after analgesic consumption
The average decrease in pain following analgesic consumption (Delta NPS) based on a 0-10 numerical pain scale (NPS), in which 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 "the worst pain imaginable."
NPS ratings before and one hour after analgesic consumption
Quality of pain intensity scores based on the concordance between pain reports on different scales.
Lasso di tempo: Pain intensity ratings before analgesic consumption.
The within-subjects standard deviation (SD) between the 4 pain scores (provided at the same time of assessment). To assure that variability will be appropriately reflected by this measure, subjects who reported only "0" or only "10" in all 4 scales were excluded from this analysis due to potential bias of the within-subjects SD due to floor or ceiling effects.
