Little is known whether children experience pain during hospital stay from the child's own perspective or not. The existing studies tend to be based on a small number of children and therefore have limitations concerning the generalisability of the results.
The aim of this study was to describe children's self-reported pain and experience concerning pain management during hospital stay.
This study has a quantitative cross-sectional design with descriptive statistics as data analysis.
A total of 786 questionnaires, Pain in Children in Hospital, were distributed in four countries with the response rate of 75% which was almost equal between countries. Our result showed that 87% (503/579) children at hospital self-reported pain during the past 24 h. Nearly 63% of the children reported a pain score of > 5 the last 24 h. Most of children reported that they had received a question about pain from the hospital staff, and that the staff observed and assessed their pain. Totally 95% reported that they were satisfied with their pain relief during the last 24 h.
Our study showed that when children were given the possibility to self-report pain, nearly 2/3 expressed that they had experienced pain during hospital stay. However, most of them reported satisfaction with pain management and their pain relief.
目前尚不清楚儿童是否从自身角度体验到住院期间的疼痛。现有研究往往基于少数儿童，因此在结果的普遍性方面存在局限性。
本研究旨在描述儿童在住院期间自我报告的疼痛和疼痛管理体验。
本研究采用定量横断面设计，描述性统计分析作为数据分析方法。
共在四个国家发放了 786 份《儿童住院疼痛量表》，回复率为 75%，各国之间几乎相等。我们的结果显示，87%（503/579）的住院儿童在过去 24 小时内自我报告疼痛。近 63%的儿童报告过去 24 小时的疼痛评分>5。大多数儿童报告说他们曾收到医院工作人员关于疼痛的询问，并且工作人员观察并评估了他们的疼痛。总共 95%的儿童报告说他们对过去 24 小时的疼痛缓解感到满意。
我们的研究表明，当儿童有机会自我报告疼痛时，近 2/3的儿童表示在住院期间经历过疼痛。然而，他们中的大多数人报告对疼痛管理和疼痛缓解感到满意。
