“…The Behavioral Pain scale was originally in the French language, which was translated into English [19], Chinese [20], Finnish [21], Brazilian Portuguese [22], Swedish [23], and Persian [24]. The behavioural pain scale has three parts: facial expression, upper limb movement and Compliance with mechanical ventilation, each graded with scores 1-4.…”

BACKGROUND: Over 70% of patients hospitalised in an intensive care unit (ICU) often experience moderate to severe pain due to pre-existing diseases, trauma, surgery, aggressive procedures, and routine ICU care. Many patients hospitalised in ICU are not able to speak and express their pain due to various causes, including mechanical ventilation, reduced consciousness, and administration of sedative drugs. Therefore, the use of observational and behavioural pain tools is recommended in this group of patients given their inability to express pain. AIM: To examine the existing observational and behavioural tools for assessment of in Nonverbal Intubated Critically Adult Patients after Open-Heart Surgery. METHODS: A systematic review of available observational and behavioural tools for assessment of pain was undertaken using the COSMIN checklist. A literature search was conducted using the following databases: Ovid, Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, and CINHAL databases, Google Scholar search engine as well as Persian resources Sid, Magiran, Iran doc, and IranMedex up to the end of 2017 were reviewed. RESULTS: A total of 47 studies that had examined five tools used in intensive care units after cardiac surgery in patients under mechanical ventilation were reviewed. Each of the five tools included behavioural and observational items, and only one tool had physiological items. All the tools had been evaluated regarding validity and reliability. In the three tools, sensitivity, specificity, responsiveness, and satisfaction were considered. CONCLUSION: Based on available evidence and investigations, CPOT and BPS tools have good validity and reliability to be used in pain assessment in Nonverbal Intubated Critically Adult Patients after Open-Heart Surgery. The NVPS tool requires more studies to be further confirmed before the assessment of pain in this group of patients.

“…The Swedish origin of ALPS is probably the most important reason for its widespread use in Sweden although only the neonatal version (ALPS‐neo) is validated to some extent . Some of the scales in use have been systematically translated and validated into Norwegian or Swedish , while others have not, but are still used in neonatal units (e.g. the Norwegian version of EDIN).…”

The persisting difference between Swedish and Norwegian units in pain assessment and the use of pain measurement scales are not easily explained. However, the reported increased availability and reported use of pain measurement scales in neonatal care units in both countries may be seen as a contribution towards better awareness and recognition of pain, better pain management and potentially less suffering for vulnerable neonates.

“…Finland (139), and Sweden (140). These studies reported good psychometric properties for the BPS, including satisfactory interrater reliability (135)(136)(137)(138)140), discriminant validity (135)(136)(137)(138)140), internal consistency (136)(137)(138), and test-retest reliability (136). In addition, the feasibility of the BPS has been evaluated.…”

Behavioral Pain Scale – translation, reliability, and validity in a Swedish context

Abstract: Results of the Swedish version of the BPS support its use in critically ill patients who cannot self-report their pain level. Still, additional studies are needed to further explore its reliability and validity in the Swedish ICU context.
