The current study examined youths' and their parents' perceptions concerning participation in an investigation of spontaneous and induced pain during recovery from laparoscopic appendectomy. Youth (age range 5-17 years) and their parents independently completed surveys about their study participation. On a 0 (very negative) -to-10 (very positive) scale, both parents 9.4(1.3) [mean(SD)] and youth 7.9(2.4) rated their experience as positive. Among youth, experience ratings did not differ by pain severity and survey responses did not differ by age. Most youth (83%) reported they would tell another youth to participate. Ethical issues regarding instigation of pain in youth for research purposes are examined.
本研究调查了青少年及其父母对于参与一项关于腹腔镜阑尾切除术后恢复过程中自发痛和诱发性疼痛调查的看法。青少年(年龄范围5 - 17岁)及其父母分别独立完成了关于他们参与该研究的调查问卷。在0(非常负面)至10(非常正面)的量表上,父母的评分均值(标准差)为9.4(1.3),青少年的评分为7.9(2.4),他们都将自己的经历评为积极。在青少年中,经历评分不因疼痛严重程度而异,调查回复也不因年龄而异。大多数青少年(83%)表示他们会告诉另一个青少年参与。本文还探讨了出于研究目的在青少年中诱发疼痛的伦理问题。
