研究概览
简要总结
“Pain is an unpleasant sensory & emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage†with multiple dimensions.
Poorly controlled post-operative pain has a number of negative consequences for the patient such as delay in functional recovery, hospital discharge and increased risk of chronic pain.
The visual analogue pain scale is a well recognized & validated self- report scale in children & adults and its use has been validated in children above 7 years.
The electronic pain assessment tools have the potential to promote compliance, co-operation, consistency in results & promote better communication between healthcare professionals, pediatric patients and their care givers.
Primary aim of the study is to compare the smartphone version of visual analogue pain scale with the traditional paper version in the assessment of pain in children and the secondary objective is to determine the child preference for the smart phone version or the hardcopy version of the tool
