“…Assessment of the child’s behavioral distress during IV insertion was evaluated with the OSBD-R (Elliott, Jay, & Woody, 1987; Jay & Elliott, 1986), an objective observation scale that consists of operationally defined behaviors indicative of distress in children during medical procedures. It consists of eight behavioral categories that demonstrate anxiety and/or pain in children (e.g., cry, scream, flail, restraint).…”

Matching Doses of Distraction With Child Risk for Distress During a Medical Procedure

Background Parents often want to provide support to their children during medical procedures, but not all parents are effective in providing distraction after brief training. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of three doses of distraction intervention for children at high and medium risk for procedure-related distress. Methods Children undergoing scheduled intravenous insertions for diagnostic or treatment purposes and their parents participated. A computerized application, Children, Parents and Distraction, was used to predict distress risk. Doses of intervention were basic (parents trained on providing distraction), enhanced (basic training plus tailored instructions, environmental modifications, and support and guidance from the research assistant), and professional (a trained research assistant provided distraction). Outcome measures were Observational Scale of Behavioral Distress-Revised for behavioral distress, Oucher for self-reported pain, parent report of child distress, and salivary cortisol for physiological distress. Results A total of 574 children, ages 4–10, and their parents participated. The Children, Parents and Distraction predicted that the risk for distress was high for 156 children, medium for 372, and low for 46. Children predicted to have higher risk for distress displayed more behavioral distress (p < .01). Children in the medium-risk group who had the professional intervention displayed significantly less behavioral distress (p < .001). Children in the high-risk group tended to have less behavioral distress when receiving the professional intervention (p = .07). There were no significant group differences for self-report of pain, parent report of distress, or cortisol levels. Discussion Some parents may need additional training in providing distraction to their children during procedures, and some children at medium and high risk for distress may need professional support. Parents should be asked about their preferences in acting as the distraction coach and, if willing, be provided as much training and support as possible in the clinical situation.

“…Scores range from 0 to 21.5. The developers of the OSBD-R reported a reliability of .72 using Cronbach’s alpha and interrater reliability of .89 (Jay & Elliot, 1986). We obtained a reliability estimate of .76 using Cronbach’s alpha for a previous study (McCarthy et al, 2010a) and .78 for this study.…”

“…Covert pain behaviors are measured via self-reports. Examples of such measures are the Oucher (Beyer, Villarruel, & Denyes, 1995), the Poker Chip Tool (Hester, 1979), the "pain thermometer" (Jay, Ozolins, Elliott, & Caldwell, 1983), and the Eland Color Tool (Eland, 1985). These instruments are limited in that they address only pain intensity, and, because they are self-report measures, they may be influenced by familial factors, environmental cues, and anxiety or fear (McGrath, 1990).…”

“…Because pain and anxiety are difficult to separate in the clinical setting, the term behavioral distress is used to capture the verbal, behavioral, and physiological indications of the inseparable elements of pain and anxiety (Katz, Kellerman, & Siegel, 1980;McGrath, 1990). Examples of pediatric pain assessments that are designed to measure overt behavioral distress are the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Pain Scale (CHEOPS;McGrath et al, 1985), the Observational Scale of Behavioral Distress (OSBD; Jay et al, 1983), and the Procedural Rating Scale, Revised (Katz et al, 1980). Discernible pain responses are frequently recorded in pain diaries, which serve as a vehicle to compile information regarding medication intake, daily activities, and therapy measures (Engel, 1988;Turnquist & Engel, 1994).…”

This paper reviews recent developments in assessment in health psychology by considering theoretical and methodological contributions and surveying measures commonly employed in research and treatment settings. The limitations of traditional approaches to assessment are outlined, and alternative measurement strategies derived from contemporary personality theory and stress and coping theory are discussed. Measures of psychological predictors and outcomes of health-related behaviours are reviewed, and examples of different methods of assessment (self-report, observer rating, behavioural) are provided for each.
