The Neonatal Infant Pain Scale and the Premature Infant Pain Profile have been used widely in neonatal intensive care units for pain assessment.
This study reports the evaluation and validation of these scales in full-term newborns who were hospitalized in two Greek neonatal intensive care units. Evaluation and validation of the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale and the Premature Infant Pain Profile in full-term newborns who were hospitalized in two Greek neonatal intensive care units.
This is a cross-sectional study. Two neonatal intensive care units at a large General Children's Hospital in Greece. A total of 81 full-term newborns. This cross-sectional study was conducted in two neonatal intensive care units at a large General Children's Hospital in Greece. We studied 81 full-term newborns, who were exposed to various painful routine procedures. A single measurement was taken from each neonate. Two observers were present during each procedure and evaluated pain using both the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale and Premature Infant Pain Profile. Internal consistency coefficient Cronbach's α, internal class agreement coefficient, and κ factor were appropriately measured.
The weighting of the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale and Premature Infant Pain Profile pointed out an excellent coherence between the two scales and agreement among the researchers. The internal consistency coefficient Cronbach's α was >.8 and the internal class agreement coefficient was >.98 for both scales, which indicates an excellent consistency between scales. The κ factor for Neonatal Infant Pain Scale was >.73 and for the Premature Infant Pain Profile it was >.6, which indicates a significant agreement among investigators.
The Neonatal Infant Pain Scale and Premature Infant Pain Profile were successfully adjusted in Greek standards with reliability between the scales and among the researchers. Moreover, they constitute reliable tools for the evaluation of neonatal procedural pain in full-term newborns in Greece.
新生儿疼痛量表和早产儿疼痛量表已在新生儿重症监护病房中广泛用于疼痛评估。
本研究报告了这些量表在希腊两家新生儿重症监护病房住院的足月儿中的评估和验证情况。对在希腊两家新生儿重症监护病房住院的足月儿进行新生儿疼痛量表和早产儿疼痛量表的评估和验证。
这是一项横断面研究。在希腊一家大型综合儿童医院的两个新生儿重症监护病房进行。共有81名足月儿。这项横断面研究在希腊一家大型综合儿童医院的两个新生儿重症监护病房进行。我们研究了81名足月儿,他们接受了各种痛苦的常规操作。对每个新生儿进行单次测量。每次操作时有两名观察者在场,使用新生儿疼痛量表和早产儿疼痛量表评估疼痛。适当测量了内部一致性系数Cronbach's α、组内相关系数和κ系数。
新生儿疼痛量表和早产儿疼痛量表的权重指出了这两个量表之间的极佳一致性以及研究人员之间的一致性。两个量表的内部一致性系数Cronbach's α均>.8,组内相关系数均>.98,这表明量表之间具有极佳的一致性。新生儿疼痛量表的κ系数>.73,早产儿疼痛量表的κ系数>.6,这表明研究者之间具有显著的一致性。
新生儿疼痛量表和早产儿疼痛量表已成功根据希腊标准进行调整,量表之间以及研究人员之间具有可靠性。此外,它们是评估希腊足月儿新生儿操作疼痛的可靠工具。
