Primary Outcome Measures

Links between pain during care and anxiety1 day

Pain during care is assessed using the Visual Analogic Scale (VAS) and anxiety using the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) scale.

The Visual Analogic Scale (VAS) is a self-assessment scale. It is a line. At one end is indicated: 0 "no pain", at the other: 100 "unbearable pain".

The State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) is a self-assessment scale. It consists of 20 items. For item, the child has to choose one of three modalities : almost never, sometimes, often. The higher the score, the more severe the anxiety.
