- Abstract
Introduction: Pain measurement and management in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU) still remains one of the most difficult challenges faced by healthcare professionals. The assessment of pain in children is complex and even more so in the context of PICU. It is necessary to use tools suitable for pain measurement in PICU and the literature shows that the gold standard is the COMFORT-Behavior (COMFORT-B) scale, a tool, however, not always used correctly by professionals. The purpose of the study protocol is to validate the Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS) in the context of PICU, evaluating it in the measurement of pain in intubated, sedated and mechanically ventilated pediatric patients. Methods: Study protocol for detecting of internal consistency validation, inter-rater reliability, concurrent validity between BPS and COMFORT-B and NRS and discriminant validity. Face validity and construct validity of the BPS were found to be adequate in a previous study. The protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee Area Vasta Emilia Nord and authorized by the University Hospital of Parma and the Gaslini Institute of Genoa. Expected Results: It is hypothesized that the validity of BPS for pain measurement in PICU can be demonstrated. Conclusions: BPS could become an effective and easy-to-use tool for nurses in the detection of pain in sedated and intubated and mechanically ventilated children, thus also improving their management.
