“…For example, physical strategies include techniques such as massage, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, heat and cold application, and positioning (Lander & Fowler‐Kerry, 1993; Mobily et al ., 1994; Ebner, 1996). More research is available about children's pain relief regarding the use of cognitive or cognitive‐behavioural methods such as imagery (Broome et al ., 1994; Pederson, 1995), distraction (Broome et al ., 1994; French et al ., 1994; Vessey et al ., 1994), relaxation and breathing techniques (McDonnel & Bowden, 1989), as well as preparatory information (Patterson & Ware, 1988; Broome, 1990). However, the application of non‐pharmacological methods is not restricted to nurses.…”

Increasingly nowadays, parents participate more fully in the care of their hospitalized children. The purpose of this study was to describe parents' utilization of selected non-pharmacological methods in relieving their hospitalized child's (aged 8-12 years) postoperative pain, and factors related to this function. Data were collected by a questionnaire survey completed by parents (n=192) with a child hospitalized on a paediatric surgical ward in the five university hospitals of Finland. The response rate was 90%. Results indicated that non-pharmacological methods, such as emotional support and helping with daily activities, were well utilized whereas cognitive-behavioural and physical methods were less frequently used strategies. Certain background factors specific to the parents and their hospitalized children were significantly related to the non-pharmacological methods used by the parents. The hospitalized child's gender, the time of the surgical procedure, and the parents' assessments of their child's pain intensity, were especially significantly related to many of these strategies. The findings of this study could be used in clinical practice to improve guidance provided to parents regarding interventions for children's pain relief.

Pain related to procedures for pediatric oncology patients is a salient topic. Although these procedures can cause much distress, this area has been neglected in research. Previous research has suffered from serious sampling problems, such as using small, nonrepresentative, biased samples. In addition, little is known about the influence of sociocultural factors on the phenomena of pain in children. This article presents the results of a review of the past 10 years of pertinent literature, argues that sociocultural influences on pain need to be studied, and offers suggestions for improving sampling designs.
