目的:获取9~15岁儿童通过短消息服务(SMS)报告的复发性疼痛,并在试点研究中检验此类报告的依从性。方法:根据指导,15名儿童每天在短消息服务上报告6次疼痛,持续一周,并对报告的兼容性进行评估。疼痛的表达和报告有三个变量:使用数字评级量表(NRS-11)获取的强度、以分钟为单位的持续时间和具有六种选择的言语疼痛相关残疾量表(0-5)。该量表在37名儿童中进行了效度检验,并在20名儿童中进行了重测。结果:SMS上显示疼痛强度、疼痛持续时间和疼痛相关残疾三个变量的依从性良好。结论:本研究支持这样的假设,即915岁儿童的疼痛体验可以通过短信以廉价和顺从的方式实时获取,表现为疼痛强度、持续时间和疼痛相关残疾。编制的言语疼痛相关功能障碍量表具有较好的信度和效度。需要进一步的研究来进一步证实这些发现。
Objectives: To capture recurrent pain in children aged 9-15 years reported by short message service (SMS) and to test the compliance of such reporting in a pilot study.Methods: After instructions, 15 children reported their pain six times a day on SMS for a week and the compatibility of the reporting was evaluated. The pain was expressed and reported on three variables: intensity captured using a numeric rating scale (NRS-11), duration in minutes and a verbal pain-related disability scale with six alternatives (0-5). The validity of this scale was tested in 37 children, and the reliability in a test-retest procedure in 20 children.Results: Good compliance reporting the three variables intensity and duration of pain as well as pain-related disability on SMS was indicated. Support for construct validity and reliability of the verbal instrument for pain-related disability was achieved.Conclusion: The study supports the hypothesis that pain experience expressed as intensity, duration and pain-related disability can be captured in real time by SMS in an inexpensive and compliant way in children aged 915 years. Validity and reliability was indicated for the constructed verbal pain-related disability scale. Further studies are needed to further confirm these findings.
