A Systematic Integrative Review of Infant Pain Assessment Tools

Abstract: When choosing a pain assessment tool, one must also consider the infant population and setting, and the type of pain experienced. The decision should be made after carefully considering the existing published options. Confidence that the instrument will assess pain in a reproducible way is essential, and must be demonstrated with validity and reliability testing. Using an untested instrument is not recommended, and should only occur within a research protocol, with appropriate ethics and parental approval. Bec… Show more

“…In a recent review of pain scales available for use in infants, none of the existing tools appear to be ideal for all situations and many have had limited psychometric testing (Duhn and Medves, 2004). Of the unidimensional scales, the Neonatal Facial Coding System is the most well developed (Grunau and Craig, 1987).…”

“…A number of scales have been developed for assessing acute pain in preterm infants; few have had adequate validation (Duhn and Medves, 2004). Currently, the two scales used most widely are the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS; Lawrence et al, 1993) and the PIPP .…”
