摘要:

Progress in the assessment of pediatric pain has been limited by the subjective nature of pain as well as by the failure of many instruments to conform to standard psychometric criteria. An overview is presented of subjective, behavioral, and physiological procedures that are practical for use by the pediatric nurse. Included are assessment procedures that have been empirically tested, as well as those that are as yet untested but clearly could be useful. Attention is given to the importance of the child's developmental stage in pain assessment and guidelines are provided that bear on future progress in the area of pediatric pain assessment.

摘要:

Nurses traditionally have encountered a number of clinical problems in the area of pharmacologic management of pediatric pain. Many of the problems result from inadequate information about pediatric pain as a whole while others center around the changing knowledge base of pharmacology. This article will address 1) common everyday pediatric pain problems and their solutions, 2) clinical roadblocks encountered when requesting analgesics or a change in analgesics, 3) common analgesic errors, 4) pediatric procedure pain, 5) the causes of cancer pain and the pharmacologic approaches to them, and will provide 6) a limited amount of information concerning specific analgesics. The article also briefly discusses the pharmacologic problems encountered by nurses who deal with chronic nonmalignant pain.

摘要:

Children must undergo painful medical procedures in the treatment of many acute or chronic illnesses. Fear and anxiety surrounding these painful procedures may create significant stress for the child and family. This paper reviews current approaches used by health care professionals to help children cope with these medical procedures. In addition, considerations for using these strategies and suggestions for intervention are presented to help the pediatric nurse develop a plan of care for these patients.

摘要:

This paper provides an overview to the cognitive-biobehavioral assessment and management of chronic and recurrent pain associated with pediatric chronic diseases. Relevant clinical research studies are extensively cited, and practical guidelines are provided for the differential assessment and management issues inherent in the comprehensive care of chronic and recurrent pain in children and adolescents with hemophilia, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and sickle-cell disease.

摘要:

Recurrent headache, such as migraine and tension headaches, is a common problem which often begins in childhood and extends into adulthood. Until recently, little attention has been devoted in the literature to this common chronic pain problem in children and adolescents. The purpose of this review is to examine the different types of headache, pharmacologic, and behavioral strategies for assessment and management of pediatric headache disorders, and the role of the pediatric nurse in headache management. Specific guidelines are offered to assist nurses in identifying headaches which can signal serious underlying disease. The literature on management of migraine and tension headaches is reviewed with the conclusion that behavioral strategies (such as relaxation training) would appear to be a viable treatment approach for children and adolescents.

摘要:

Recurrent abdominal pain (RAP) is a common complaint of children and adolescents. RAP is a benign pain syndrome for 95% of these children. Nurses may see children with RAP in schools, hospitals, and office settings. They can be actively involved in case finding, assessment, monitoring, intervention, and education for these children and their families. The precise cause of RAP is not known. A number of etiologic theories and models are discussed. Appropriate approaches to assessment and intervention based on these theories and current research data are described.
