简要总结
The purpose of this study is to establish reliability and validity of the Norwegian version of the Comfort behavioral scale.
详细描述
Structured pain assessment is the foundation for the management of pain. Several different pain measurement tools exists, among them the Comfort behavioral scale (van Dijk, 2005), developed from the original Comfort scale (Ambuel, 1992). The psychometric properties of the Comfort scale have been tested in several studies, but so far no Norwegian version of the scale has been developed and tested. Neither has the scale been tested in spontaneously breathing children undergoing minor surgery. The aim of this study is to establish incipient psychometric properties of the Norwegian version of the scale among children aged 0-3 years admitted for elective minor surgery.

结局指标
主要结局
Increase in Comfort behavioral scale score
时间窗: Within 24 hours after admission to the hospital for surgery
Testing the hypothesis that there will be a clincal significant increase in Comfort-score when the scores from admission and after surgery are compared. The highest registered score obtained during the first 24 hours after surgery will be used for this analysis. We assume that the score at admission reflects no pain/sedation, while the scores after surgery reflect varying degree of pain
次要结局
- Convergent validity of the Comfort behavioral scale(Within 24 hours after admission to the hospital for surgery)
- Inter-rater reliability of the Comfort behavioral scale(Within 24 hours after admission to the hospital for surgery)
- Reduction in Comfort behavioral scale score (2)(Within 24 hours after admission to the hospital for surgery)
- Reduction in Comfort behavioral scale score (1)(Within 24 hours after admission to the hospital for surgery)
