Abstract

Children who have been maltreated are at an increased risk of having their pain under-recognized and undertreated by healthcare professionals, and thus, are more susceptible to adverse outcomes associated with undertreated pain. This study's aims were to examine: (1) if healthcare professionals' pediatric pain knowledge is associated with their pain assessment methods, (2) if maltreatment-specific pain knowledge is associated with consideration of child maltreatment when deciding on a pain management strategy, and (3) if pediatric pain knowledge would relate to maltreatment-specific pain knowledge. A sample (N = 108) of healthcare professionals responded to a survey designed to examine their current knowledge and utilization of pediatric pain assessment and management with emphasis on the effects of child maltreatment. Findings revealed healthcare professionals' knowledge of pediatric pain is independent of their pain assessment and management practices. However, general pain knowledge was associated with maltreatment-specific pain knowledge and generally, healthcare professionals were knowledgeable of child maltreatment's impact on pediatric pain. Participants who considered a history of maltreatment were also more likely to employ sensitive questioning strategies when asking children about their pain.

儿童虐待和儿童疼痛:医疗保健专业人员的疼痛知识和疼痛管理技术的调查。
遭受虐待的儿童的疼痛被卫生保健专业人员忽视和治疗的风险更大,因此,更容易受到与治疗不足的疼痛相关的不良后果的影响。本研究的目的是检验:(1)医疗保健专业人员的儿童疼痛知识是否与他们的疼痛评估方法有关,(2)在决定疼痛管理策略时,虐待特异性疼痛知识是否与考虑儿童虐待有关,以及(3)儿童疼痛知识是否与虐待特异性疼痛知识有关。样本(N = 108)的卫生保健专业人员回应了一项调查,旨在检查他们目前的知识和利用儿科疼痛评估和管理,重点是儿童虐待的影响。研究结果显示,医疗保健专业人员对儿童疼痛的了解是独立于他们的疼痛评估和管理实践的。然而,一般的疼痛知识与虐待特定的疼痛知识相关,一般来说,医疗保健专业人员了解儿童虐待对儿童疼痛的影响。考虑过虐待史的参与者在询问孩子的痛苦时也更有可能采用敏感的提问策略。
