To capture recurrent pain in children aged 9-15 years reported by short message service (SMS) and to test the compliance of such reporting in a pilot study.
After instructions, 15 children reported their pain six times a day on SMS for a week and the compatibility of the reporting was evaluated. The pain was expressed and reported on three variables: intensity captured using a numeric rating scale (NRS-11), duration in minutes and a verbal pain-related disability scale with six alternatives (0-5). The validity of this scale was tested in 37 children, and the reliability in a test-retest procedure in 20 children.
Good compliance reporting the three variables intensity and duration of pain as well as pain-related disability on SMS was indicated. Support for construct validity and reliability of the verbal instrument for pain-related disability was achieved.
The study supports the hypothesis that pain experience expressed as intensity, duration and pain-related disability can be captured in real time by SMS in an inexpensive and compliant way in children aged 9-15 years. Validity and reliability was indicated for the constructed verbal pain-related disability scale. Further studies are needed to further confirm these findings.
通过短信(SMS)捕获 9-15 岁儿童的复发性疼痛,并在试点研究中测试这种报告的依从性。
在指导后,15 名儿童在一周内每天通过 SMS 报告六次疼痛,并评估报告的兼容性。疼痛通过三个变量进行表达和报告:使用数字评定量表(NRS-11)捕获的强度、持续时间(以分钟为单位)和六个替代项的与疼痛相关的残疾的口头量表(0-5)。该量表的有效性在 37 名儿童中进行了测试,在 20 名儿童中进行了测试-重测程序的可靠性。
表明了通过 SMS 以短信方式报告疼痛的三个变量强度、持续时间和与疼痛相关的残疾的良好依从性报告。对与疼痛相关的残疾的口头工具的结构有效性和可靠性的支持得到了实现。
该研究支持了这样一种假设,即通过 SMS 以短信方式实时捕获 9-15 岁儿童的疼痛体验,在强度、持续时间和与疼痛相关的残疾方面可以做到既经济又符合要求,且具有依从性。还表明构建的与疼痛相关的残疾的口头量表具有有效性和可靠性。需要进一步的研究来进一步证实这些发现。
