Describing pain is difficult. Children like to draw, and through their drawing they reveal worrying issues. This study aimed to examine how hospitalized children express pain through drawings, and was carried out by examining children's thematic drawings of pain. A comparison was made between hospitalized children and healthy control groups with respect to the thematic contents and cognitive and emotional characteristics of pain drawings. The drawings were sorted in categories on the basis of content, and cognitive competence and emotional disturbances by the Draw-a-Person procedure. The hospitalized children showed a lower level of cognitive capacity than their healthy controls. The control group children revealed a higher level of emotional disturbance than the hospitalized children. The groups differed in the contents of their drawings. The drawings of the hospitalized children frequently depicted medical procedures, whereas the drawings of the healthy controls depicted more consoling human and family relations.

“…One child described intense fear of the "doctors and what they had in their pockets" whenever they came near the room, expecting a "stick" from them, although the child was not anticipating another "shot" other than the first one. Consistent with findings with hospitalized children (Carney et al, 2003;Koening et al, 2003;Lindke et al, 2006;Salmela et al, 2009;, children in both age groups reported fear of pain (surgical and needles) or procedures.…”

Abstract: Children's unique perspectives should be sought regularly and their data included in ongoing programs of quality assessment. When only parents are queried, important and insightful perspectives of children are missed that could improve care quality.
