父母需要有关疼痛的教育，这样他们就可以支持住院的孩子，并在家里管理孩子的疼痛。本研究的目的是检查疼痛小册子的有效性，家长疼痛支持的儿童经历术后疼痛。一个随机的，重复的措施，使用疼痛教育手册和标准护理对照组的实验设计，用于研究51名儿童（3至16岁）的父母进行心脏手术。用于评估父母疼痛管理差异的测量技术包括：对止痛药的态度，儿童和父母疼痛评级（Oucher），阿片类药物的使用，恢复，满意度和舒适度的沟通。结果表明，儿童报告中度疼痛术后。术前接触《疼痛评估与管理家长教育手册》的家长对疼痛药物的知识和态度评分从术前到术后显著增加，而对照组保持稳定。两组之间的测试后分数没有显著差异。儿童和父母的疼痛评分显着正相关。实践的影响，包括使用的教育小册子疼痛与父母手术前增加他们的知识和态度对疼痛管理。此外，当孩子不能或不愿意自我报告他们的疼痛时，父母可以提供替代的疼痛报告。
Parents need education about pain so they can support their hospitalized child and manage their child's pain at home. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a pain booklet on parental pain support to children experiencing postoperative pain. A randomized, repeated measures, experimental design using a pain education booklet and a standard care comparison group was used to study parents of 51 children (3 to 16 years of age) having cardiac surgery. Measurement techniques used to assess differences in parental pain management included: attitudes about pain medication, child and parent pain ratings (Oucher), opioids used, recovery, satisfaction, and comfort in communication. Results indicate that children do report moderate levels of pain postoperatively. Parents who were exposed to the pain assessment and management for parents education booklet preoperatively significantly increased their knowledge and attitudes toward pain medication scores from pre- to post-test, whereas those in the control group remained stable. Post-test scores were not significantly different between groups. Child and parent pain ratings were significantly and positively correlated. Practice implications include the use of an educational booklet about pain with parents before surgery to increase their knowledge about and attitudes toward pain management. Additionally, a parent may provide an alternative pain report when a child is unable to or unwilling to self-report their pain.
