Abstract: While recent studies suggest reduced pain in pediatric inpatients, the present findings reveal a continued high frequency of undertreated pain. High rates of procedural pain are preventable and should be targeted given the underutilization of pain management strategies.

Nors pastaruoju metu teigiama, kad gydymo įstaigose vaikai yra nuskausminami, tačiau tyrimai atskleidė, kad vaikų skausmui vis dar skiriamas nepakankamas dėmesys ir jie kenčia įvairaus intensyvumo skausmą [1][2][3][4][5].
