FLACC行動疼痛評価スケール：子供の自己報告との比較

この研究の目的は、子供との使用のための顔、脚、活動、泣き声（FLACC）行動疼痛評価尺度の妥当性をさらにテストすることでした。さまざまな外科的処置を受けた3〜7歳（5.01 +/- 1.44）の30人の子供が観察され、手術後20 + 2時間で痛みの強さを評価しました。FLACCスコアは看護師の調査員の1人によって割り当てられ、顔のスケールを使用した痛みの自己報告が子供から得られました。サンプル全体と5〜7歳の子供のスコアのFLACCスコアとフェイススコアの間には有意かつ正の相関がありましたが、子供<年齢。評価ツール。

The purpose of this study was to further test the validity of the Faces, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability (FLACC) Behavioral Pain Assessment Scale for use with children. Thirty children aged 3-7 years (5.01 +/- 1.44) who had undergone a variety of surgical procedures were observed and assessed for pain intensity at 20 + 2 hours after surgery. FLACC scores were assigned by one of the nurse investigators, and a self-report of pain using the FACES scale was obtained from the child. There were significant and positive correlations between the FLACC and FACES scores for the entire sample and for the scores of children 5-7 years of age, but not for children < age 5. These findings provide additional support for the construct validity of the FLACC Pain Assessment Tool.
