“…The second way of measuring pain is the "Observe behavior and infer" method (39). This method has various scales like Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) (40), Crying Requires Increased Vital Signs Expression Sleeplessness (CRIES) (41), Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) (41) for Infants and Toddlers, then Pain Assessment Checklist for Seniors with Limited Ability to Communicate (PACSLAC) (42), DOLOPLUS2 (43), Pain Assessment in Advanced Dementia Scale (PAINAD) (44) for elderly with dementia and Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS) (45), Critical Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT) (46), Nonverbal Pain Scale (NVPS) (47) for ill and unconscious persons. The third classification of measuring pain is "Indirect Physiology."…”

“…Each item is scored as present or absent and then a total score is summed with higher scores indicative of more severe pain. This measure has been shortened and tested as a 31-item measure referred to as the PACSLAC-II ( 16 ). Although there is support for the reliability and validity of the PACSLAC and the PACSLAC-II ( 16 – 18 ), the measure requires more training and takes more time to complete than the PAINAD.…”

The purpose of this study was to test the reliability and validity of the Pain Assessment in Advanced Dementia (PAINAD) and particularly consider whether or not this measure was invariant when used among the Black and White residents. Baseline data from an implementation study testing that included a sample of 553 residents, 30% of who were Black, from 55 nursing were included in this study. The Winsteps statistical program was used to perform the Rasch analysis and evaluate the reliability and validity of the measure based on internal consistency, infit and outfit statistics, mapping, and a differential item functioning (DIF) analysis. The AMOS statistical program was used for confirmatory factor analysis. The findings supported the reliability and validity of the PAINAD when used with these individuals and demonstrated that there was no evidence of invariance between the Black and White residents. All the items fit the model, but there was not a good spread of the items across the pain level of the participants. The majority of the participants (75%) were so low in pain signs or symptoms that they could not be differentiated. Based on the clinical practice and observations, it is recommended that additional items can be added to the measure such as observing the individual for evidence of resisting care, retropulsion when trying to stand, hitting or kicking when turning in bed, hitting or kicking when transferring from bed to chair, hitting or kicking when ambulating, or hitting or kicking when raising arms, less engagement with others, and decreased participation in the activities previously enjoyed.

Introducción: Identificar la evidencia científica relacionada con las necesidades de cuidado en pacientes con demencia y/o Alzheimer en Latinoamérica. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó una revisión integrativa de la evidencia científica bajo la metodología propuesta por Ganong, se realizó una búsqueda en las bases de datos: Embase, Ovid, PubMed, Proquest, SciELO, ISI Web of Science y Scopus, Redalycs en artículos publicados desde el año 2012- 2019. Resultados: Se incluyeron 20 artículos producto de investigaciones primarias de tipo cualitativo y cuantitativo. Se presentan y discuten como hallazgos las siguientes categorías: necesidades de cuidado físicas, necesidades de cuidado psicológicas, necesidades de cuidado a nivel social. Discusión y Conclusiones: Se evidencia un vacío de conocimiento en el contexto Latinoamericano sobre las investigaciones dirigidas al paciente con demencia y/o Alzheimer. Conocer las necesidades de cuidado de los pacientes con demencia se convierten una prioridad para los profesionales sanitarios, puesto que brindar una adecuada intervención a promueve la calidad de vida tanto del paciente como el cuidador.
