To identify whether nurses and mothers of pediatric patients accurately assess the child's pain intensity as determined by the child.
A descriptive correlational design examined the perception of pain from a nonrandom convenience sample of 20 postoperative school-aged children, their mothers, and their nurses. A 100 mm visual analogue scale was completed by all participants at 3 separate observations. Pearson's Product Moment Correlation was used to analyze relationships between the dyads.
The mother/child dyad showed significant relationships at observations 1 and 2; these correlations were higher than other correlations at each observation. There were significant relationships for the child/nurse dyad at observations 1 and 2, and for the mother/nurse dyad at observation 1.
Mothers may be a valuable source of information in assessing their child's pain. The use of pain assessment tools may need to be examined and incorporated into nurses' practice, and assessments of children's pain may need to integrate more data pertaining to developmental level.
确定儿科患者的护士和母亲是否能准确评估由儿童自身确定的疼痛强度。
采用描述性相关性设计，对20名学龄期术后儿童、他们的母亲和护士这一非随机便利样本的疼痛感知进行研究。所有参与者在3个不同时间点完成100毫米视觉模拟量表。使用皮尔逊积差相关分析二元组之间的关系。
母子二元组在第1次和第2次观察时显示出显著关系；这些相关性高于每次观察时的其他相关性。儿童与护士二元组在第1次和第2次观察时有显著关系，母亲与护士二元组在第1次观察时有显著关系。
母亲可能是评估孩子疼痛的重要信息来源。可能需要检查疼痛评估工具并将其纳入护士的实践中，对儿童疼痛的评估可能需要整合更多与发育水平相关的数据。
