Abstract:
Objective:To explore the pain perception and cognition of children with malignant tumor and their parents during the disease treatment.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 179 children with malignant tumors and their 179 parents who were admitted to the day ward of Hematology and Oncology Center of Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University from June 2017 to February 2019 were selected as the research objects. The children and their parents were surveyed by using the self-developed Pain Questionnaire for Children with Malignant Tumor and the Pain Questionnaire for Parents of Children with Malignant Tumor. A total of 179 questionnaires were distributed, 179 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the effective recovery rate was 100.0%.Results:The incidence of pain during treatment in 179 parents and 179 children was 100.0% (179/179) and 98.3% (176/179) , respectively. The average scores of 179 parents and 179 children who considered the most severe pain during disease treatment were respectively (5.82±2.30) and (5.41±2.09) , and the average pain scores were (4.04±1.90) and (3.95±1.66) , respectively. There were statistically significant differences in pain perception between children and their parents during lumbar puncture/thecal injection, bone puncture, PICC catheter placement, indwelling needle puncture and venous blood collection ( P<0.05) . A total of 77.1% (138/179) of parents and 65.4% (117/179) of children had concerns about the use of analgesics, respectively. Conclusions:There is a high consistency between the severity of pain experienced by parents and the children's feelings during treatment. However, the parents feel that the unbearable treatment-related pain during the treatment of the disease is higher than that of children, and they are more passive than children in the attitude of receiving analgesics. Medical staff can listen to their parents' opinions during pain assessment, pay attention to education of parents before treatment-related operations, take measures to reduce or even avoid the occurrence of treatment-related pain and strengthen the training of pain relief measures.
