研究人员几乎无一例外地依赖于成年人对儿童疼痛的定性信息。然而，成年人可能只提供儿童疼痛体验的有限观点。这篇文章的目的是描述儿童认为痛苦的事件。44名儿童参加了这项研究。他们因不同的原因住进了一所大学医院的不同病房。数据包括定性的儿童访谈，并使用归纳内容分析进行了分析。儿童的疼痛体验主要来自四个方面：1.疼痛作为诊断疾病的症状，2。由医疗和诊断程序以及基础护理引起的疼痛，3.事故引起的疼痛; 4.不是由特定的疾病或伤害引起的无法解释的疼痛。孩子们能够报告和描述他们的疼痛。儿童应被视为他们的疼痛专家，以最大限度地提高疼痛管理的选择。
Researchers have relied, almost without exception, on adults for qualitative information about children's pain. However, adults may provide only a limited view of children's pain experience. The purpose of this article is to describe the events considered painful by children. Forty-four children participated in the study. They had been admitted for different reasons into different wards of a university hospital. The data consisted of qualitative child interviews and was analysed using inductive content analysis. The pain experience of children came from four main sources: 1. pain as a symptom of a diagnosed illness, 2. pain caused by medical and diagnostic procedures and basic nursing, 3. pain caused by accidents and 4. inexplicable pain not caused by a particular illness or injury. Children are able to report and describe their pain. Children should be regarded as experts on their pain in order to maximize the options for pain management.
