Abstract

Methods

This study is a qualitative interview study. The authors used the stimulated recall interview (SRI) with nurses working at a children's hospital in southern Sweden for the data collection. In total twelve nurses were interviewed and qualitative content analysis was used for the data analysis.

Results

The results are presented as one theme: Need for higher competencies and evidence, and three categories: Routines can enable pain assessment, Trusting one's own assessment of the whole picture, and Pain assessment scales as an extra workload. The interviewed nurses acknowledged that pain assessment tools are a vital part of the field of pain treatment. They also had trust issues with measuring and estimating pain by means of a tool such as pain scale. Furthermore, their opinion was that too many different tools and methods add up towards a more blurry and stress-related environment and due to a lack of consistent routines, pain assessment is seen as a work-related burden in the daily routines.

Conclusion

Results from the present study indicated that nurses need clear routines in combination with continued education regarding pain assessment with pain scales, which might be the key to successful pediatric pain assessment and thus to better pain management within pediatrics.

瑞典护士视角下的疼痛评估

方法采用质性访谈法。作者采用刺激回忆访谈法(SRI)对瑞典南部一家儿童医院的护士进行数据收集。共对12名护士进行访谈，采用定性内容分析进行数据分析。结果研究结果以“对更高能力和证据的需求”为主题，分为三个类别:常规可以实现疼痛评估，信任自己对整体情况的评估，以及疼痛评估量表作为额外工作量。受访护士承认，疼痛评估工具是疼痛治疗领域的重要组成部分。他们在使用疼痛量表等工具来测量和评估疼痛方面也存在信任问题。此外，他们的观点是，太多不同的工具和方法加在一起，形成了一个更加模糊和压力相关的环境，由于缺乏一致的常规，疼痛评估被视为日常工作中的工作负担。结论护理人员需要明确的流程，并结合疼痛量表评估的持续教育，这可能是成功评估儿科疼痛的关键，从而更好地管理儿科疼痛。
