Abstract:
Objective:To explore the reports on the pain intensity and the use of pain relief strategies of parents in postoperative pain management of orthopedic children, and analyze related influencing factors.Methods:From January to August 2020, purpose sampling was used to select 200 parents of children who underwent elective surgery in the Department of Orthopedics of a Class Ⅲ Grade A children hospital in Suzhou City. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale, and Parents' Use of Pain Relief Strategies (PUPRS) Questionnaire. A total of 200 questionnaires were distributed, and 197 were effectively returned, with an effective rate of 98.5%.Results:The 197 orthopedic children's parents reported a score of (6.75±2.19) on the pain intensity of the children, 36.5% and 53.3% of them were moderate and severe respectively. The PUPRS score was 52.0 (9.00) , 70.6% and 28.4% were at medium and high levels, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that parents' gender and education level were the influencing factors of PUPRS ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Parents of most orthopedic children report severe postoperative pain intensity, and their use of pain relief strategies is at a medium to a high level, and is affected by gender and education level. However, the use of painkillers and certain pain relief strategies is lacking. In the future, clinical medical and nursing staff should formulate reasonable health education programs to further promote and improve parents' pain management practices.
