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.
本研究的目的是进一步检验面部、腿部、活动、哭闹及可安慰性（FLACC）行为疼痛评估量表在儿童中的有效性。对30名年龄在3至7岁（平均5.01±1.44岁）且接受了各种外科手术的儿童，在术后20±2小时进行了疼痛强度的观察和评估。FLACC评分由一名护士研究者给出，同时从儿童处获得使用面部表情量表的疼痛自评结果。在整个样本以及5至7岁儿童的得分中，FLACC与面部表情量表得分之间存在显著正相关，但在5岁以下儿童中则不存在。这些发现为FLACC疼痛评估工具的结构效度提供了更多支持。
