这项研究是一项随机试验，评估了用手册《疼痛，疼痛走开：帮助患有疼痛的儿童》教育父母的效果，以及他们对孩子术后疼痛的态度和管理。82名接受日间手术的儿童的父母被随机分为疼痛教育组(n=27)、疼痛评估对照组(n=28)和无痛教育对照组(n=27)。与其他两组相比，疼痛教育组的父母对儿童使用对乙酰氨基酚的担忧较少。疼痛教育组的父母在术后第3天的用药剂量比其他两组多；在手术后前2天的任何一天，组内的用药剂量都没有差异。在术后3天的任何一天，父母的疼痛评估没有组间差异。父母对孩子服用止痛药的担忧较少，父母对疼痛的评估较高，这与用药剂量较大有关。关于制定进一步干预措施以教育父母了解儿童疼痛的必要性，对这些结果进行了讨论。
This study was a randomized trial evaluating the effects of educating parents with the booklet Pain, Pain Go Away: Helping Children With Pain on their attitudes and management of their children's postoperative pain. Eighty-two parents of children undergoing day surgeries were randomly assigned to a pain education group (n = 27), a pain assessment control group (n = 28), or a no pain education control group (n = 27). Parents in the pain education group had fewer concerns about the use of acetaminophen for children compared to the other two groups. Parents in the pain education group administered more doses of medication on the 3rd day following surgery than the other two groups; there were no group differences in medication dosages on either of the first 2 days following surgery. There were no group differences in parents' pain assessments on any of the 3 days following surgery. Fewer parental concerns about children's pain medications and higher parental pain assessments were related to higher numbers of doses of medication administered. These results are discussed with respect to the need for developing further interventions to educate parents about children's pain.
