Inadequate knowledge has contributed to inaccurate pain assessment and treatment for children with intellectual disabilities.
Develop and evaluate pain knowledge measures and accompanying self-report ratings; determine their sensitivity to change.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Young adults (n = 77; M = 18.89; standard deviation = 2.29; 67 females) were randomly assigned to one of two 'caring for children with intellectual disabilities' training programs (pain and visual supports). Participants completed pre-post-measures of pain knowledge and six self-report ratings of feasibility, confidence and perceived skill in pain assessment and treatment.
After controlling for pretraining scores, pain knowledge and self-report ratings were significantly higher following pain training versus visual support training.
These measures show promise for the evaluation of pain knowledge in secondary caregivers.
知识不足导致对智障儿童的疼痛评估和治疗不准确。
开发并评估疼痛知识测量方法及相应的自我报告评分；确定其对变化的敏感性。
将年轻成年人（n = 77；平均年龄M = 18.89；标准差 = 2.29；67名女性）随机分配到两个“照顾智障儿童”培训项目（疼痛和视觉支持）之一。参与者完成了疼痛知识的前后测量以及六项关于疼痛评估和治疗的可行性、信心和感知技能的自我报告评分。
在控制预训练分数后，与视觉支持培训相比，疼痛培训后的疼痛知识和自我报告评分显著更高。
这些测量方法在评估二级护理人员的疼痛知识方面显示出前景。
