The revised definition of pain recently published by the International Association for the Study of Pain addressed important shortcomings of the previous version; however, it remains narrow in its focus on sensory and emotional features of pain, failing to capture the substantial roles of cognitive and social core components of the experience and their importance to advances in pain management. This paper reviews evidence and theoretical models for the significant role social and cognitive factors play in pain experience and we argue that without explicit recognition of these core components in the definition, significant nuances are lost at a cost to understanding and clinical management of pain. A focus on sensory and emotional features perpetuates biomedical interventions and research, whereas recognition of cognitive and social features supports a multidimensional model of pain, advances in interdisciplinary care, and the benefits of cognitive behavioral therapy and self‐management interventions. We also explore the six Key Notes that accompany the new definition of pain, discuss their application to the understanding of pain in childhood, and, in doing so, further explore social and cognitive implications. Considerations are also described for assessment and treatment of pain in pediatric populations.","PeriodicalId":19634,"journal":{"name":"Paediatric & Neonatal Pain","volume":"91 1","pages":"106 - 118"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83765416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data concerning TI performed in neonates during the first 14 days of their admission to participating neonatal/pediatric intensive care units were prospectively collected at the bedside. This study was part of the Epidemiology of Procedural Pain in Neonates study (EPIPPAIN 2) conducted in 16 tertiary care units in the region of Paris, France, in 2011. Multivariate analysis was used to identify factors associated with premedication use and multilevel analysis to identify center effect. Results were compared with those of the EPIPPAIN 1 study, conducted in 2005 with a similar design, and to a current guidance for the clinician for this procedure. One hundred and twenty‐one intubations carried out in 121 patients were analyzed. The specific premedication rate was 47% and drugs used included mainly propofol (26%), sufentanil (24%), and ketamine (12%). Three factors were associated with the use of a specific premedication: nonemergent TI (Odds ratio (OR) [95% CI]: 5.3 [1.49‐20.80]), existence of a specific written protocol in the ward (OR [95% CI]:4.80 [2.12‐11.57]), and the absence of a nonspecific concurrent analgesia infusion before TI (OR [95% CI]: 3.41 [1.46‐8.45]). No center effect was observed. The specific premedication rate was lower than the 56% rate observed in 2005. The drugs used were more homogenous and consistent with the current recommendations than in 2005, especially in centers with a specific written protocol. Premedication use prior to neonatal TI was low, even for nonemergent procedures. Scientific consensus, implementation of international or national recommendations, and local written protocols are urgently needed to improve premedication practices for neonatal intubation.","PeriodicalId":19634,"journal":{"name":"Paediatric & Neonatal Pain","volume":"38 1","pages":"46 - 58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84865280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Carter, Jane Harris, A. Jordan","doi":"10.1002/pne2.12045","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/pne2.12045","url":null,"abstract":"Reassurance in the context of pediatric pain is regarded to promote distress. Typically, spoken reassurance is reported as short, generic statements (“it's ok,” “don't worry”); little research has considered wider reassuring behaviors and actions undertaken by nurses. Most studies focus on unidirectional, dyadic relationships between reassurance and pain (parent‐to‐child, professional‐to‐child) failing to capture the inherent complexities. Adopting an exploratory, interpretative, and qualitative approach, this paper reports on findings from the qualitative interview component of a mixed‐methods study, concerning how nurses actively use reassurance when talking to children and their parents about pain. Eighteen nurses with experience of managing children's pain were recruited on completion of an international online survey (distributed by pain and children's nursing networks and via newsletter, email, and social media). All 18 nurses completed a semi‐structured interview concerning their experiences of managing children's pain working in the UK (n = 14), Canada (n = 3), and Australia (n = 1) in primary, secondary, and tertiary settings with nursing experience ranging from pre‐qualification to >20 years. Thematic analysis generated three themes which reflect the main ways in which nurses focus their reassurance within encounters with children and their parent(s): (a) on child and parent(s), (b) on the child, and (c) on the parent. Nurses generated reassurance using language, gesture, relationship building, individualizing approaches, education, and preparation. The study highlights the diversity of reassurance provided by nurses in relation to children's pain. Our study finds that when nurses reassure children about pain, they focus their reassurance in three distinct directions (child, parents, and children and parents in partnership); this has not been specifically acknowledged by previous research. We highlight the wide range of implicit and explicit reassurance actions undertaken by nurses and propose that reassurance that extends beyond limited vocalizations is part of a complex package of care that can support children's current and future pain experiences.","PeriodicalId":19634,"journal":{"name":"Paediatric & Neonatal Pain","volume":"4 1","pages":"36 - 44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88517263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Educational initiatives, as reported in the literature, have tended to focus on increasing empirical knowledge which has not resulted in the anticipated improvements in practice. An exploration of Carper's and Chinn & Kramer's five ways of knowing helps demonstrate why an over‐reliance on empirics fails to equip nurses for the realities of clinical practice and does not facilitate knowledge mobilization or improvements in pain care for CYP. In this paper, we explore these ways of knowing to produce a model for knowledge mobilization in (pain) education. Our model puts forward a multifaceted approach to education using the active learning principles which supports and equip nurses to become effective pain practitioners.","PeriodicalId":19634,"journal":{"name":"Paediatric & Neonatal Pain","volume":"27 1","pages":"139 - 147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77704548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SKIP is pleased to partner with pediatric and neonatal pain to introduce this first of two special issues focused on knowledge mobilization. These special issues highlight initiatives aimed to move knowledge in pediatric and neonatal pain into practice. This first special issue focuses on knowledge mobilization in neonatal pain (Part 1), with forthcoming issue focused on knowledge mobilization in pediatric pain (Part 2). Showcased is the incredibly diverse knowledge mobilization work being down in the field around the world. This includes efforts to engage and benefit varied knowledge user audiences, including health professionals, parents, children, and decision makers, addressing acute, procedural, and chronic pain in populations from infancy to later adolescence, and led by interdisciplinary teams. The four papers in this special neonatal edition (Part 1) highlight how evidence about effective neonatal pain management can be mobilized via interprofessional interventions and social media.69 Firstly, Balice-Bourgois and her team report on the processes of developing a theoretically informed interprofessional intervention aimed at improving procedural pain management in a NICU in Switzerland.6 The content of the proposed intervention was then evaluated and approved by a panel of experts, healthcare providers, and parents. Secondly, Korki de Candido and her team report on an evaluation of the Portuguese version of the “Be Sweet to Babies” video in a postnatal setting in Brazil.8 The brief video, produced in 9 languages, is a knowledge translation tool, co-produced with parents and targeted at parents, and demonstrates the use of breastfeeding, skin-to-skin contact and sucrose during painful procedures.

Unmanaged procedural pain can have short‐ and long‐term consequences, including longer procedure times, greater distress at future procedures, and vaccine hesitancy. While parent behaviors are one of the strongest predictors of children's response to acute pain, pediatric procedural pain management interventions focus almost exclusively on the child. Further, existing parent‐involved pediatric pain management interventions typically fail to improve child self‐reported pain during painful procedures. The current protocol offers the first randomized controlled trial involving a mindfulness intervention for pediatric acute pain that includes children and their parents. This study aims to conduct a single‐site, two‐arm, parallel‐group RCT to examine the effects of a mindfulness intervention for parents and children before child venipuncture compared to a control group on primary (child self‐report of pain and fear), secondary (parent self‐report and child report of parent distress), and tertiary outcomes (parent report of child pain and fear). Parent‐child dyads (n = 150) will be recruited from the McMaster Children's Hospital outpatient blood laboratory. Dyads will be randomly assigned to either a mindfulness group guided through a mindfulness intervention or control group guided through an unfocused attention task. Parents will accompany their child for their venipuncture. Postvenipuncture measures will be collected (eg, child pain‐related outcomes as reported by parents and children). The first enrollment occurred in October 2019.

Respiratory distress syndrome is the most common respiratory diagnosis in preterm infants, and is best treated by administration of surfactant. Until recently, this has been performed via an endotracheal tube using premedication, which has often included opiate analgesia; subsequently, the infant has been ventilated. Avoidance of mechanical ventilation, however, does not negate the need for surfactant therapy. Less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) in spontaneously breathing infants is increasing in popularity, and appears to have beneficial effects. However, laryngoscopy is necessary, which carries adverse effects and is painful for the infant. Conventional methods of premedication for intubation tend to reduce respiratory drive, which increases the likelihood of ventilation being required. This has led to intense debate about the best strategy for providing appropriate treatment, taking into account both the respiratory needs of the infant and the need to alleviate procedural pain. Currently, clinical practice varies considerably and there is no consensus with respect to optimal management. This review seeks to summarize the benefits, risks, and challenges associated with this new approach.","PeriodicalId":19634,"journal":{"name":"Paediatric & Neonatal Pain","volume":"58 1","pages":"2 - 8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87496238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, access to evidence‐based pain management interventions remains a challenge for many children and adolescents who suffer with persistent pain. Reducing patient burden and system‐level barriers to care are a central target of clinical innovations in pain treatment intervention. Psychological interventions are also increasingly focused on reducing biomedical biases that may inhibit attainment of services. While there are many new psychological interventions across an array of delivery platforms, few interventions have been systematically disseminated. This paper will highlight the translational research procedures that have informed the development and dissemination of the Comfort Ability Program (CAP), an interactive group‐based intervention teaching adolescents and their parents evidence‐based strategies to manage chronic or persistent pain. Now in its fifth year of dissemination, CAP has a demonstrated record of success with cross‐institutional implementation and sustainability at 18 hospitals across three countries. This paper reviews six dynamic and iterative phases of development, based on the Graham et al knowledge‐to‐action cycle (2006), that have guided the implementation and dissemination research for this program. The phases of CAP development include the following: (a) identifying knowledge and clinical gaps in care, (b) generating knowledge assets and implementation procedures, (c) evaluating clinical outcomes and system‐level processes, (d) developing and testing dissemination procedures, (e) expanding partnerships and monitoring knowledge use, and (f) sustaining knowledge use and continued innovation.
