“…Thus, parents may end up relying on their child's behavior. This study's results indicate that parents evaluate their child's pain intensity more often because of their own emotions, as shown in other studies (Caes et al, 2011; Gorodzinsky et al, 2014; Goubert et al, 2011; Vervoort et al, 2011). However, studies which report the difference in the evaluation of pain in children according to the child's age or gender are rare.…”

Pain in children is frequent. Parents evaluate their children's pain to decide how to manage it or to share information with caregivers. This qualitative descriptive study aims to identify elements influencing the evaluation and management of pain in children from a parent's perspective. Participants were recruited through a pediatric center and university family medicine clinic. Participants had to have used medication for their child that was prescribed “as needed” to manage their child's pain in the month preceding the interview, whether it was a prescription‐strength medication or an over‐the‐counter strength prescription. Semi‐directed interviews 30–45 min in duration were conducted with 16 parents in the Outaouais region of Quebec (Canada), either at the participant's home or by phone (after the declaration of the COVID‐19 pandemic). A thematic analysis was completed to identify themes in the data from these individual interviews. The evaluation of children's pain by their parents is influenced by the parents' experience with pain and the expression of the pain by the children, whereas the actions to relieve the pain are based on the beliefs surrounding pain management in children. Evaluation of pain is complex since many parents' beliefs influence this evaluation and the subsequent pain management. The study results raise healthcare professionals' awareness regarding several elements which influence the evaluation of children's pain and its management by their parents.

“…Children with negative pain memories had higher levels of anxiety and experienced more pain when they got older than those with positive pain memories (Noel, Chambers, McGrath, Klein, & Stewart, 2012a). All these indicate the need to empower parents with sufficient relevant knowledge and information via education to improve their abilities in caring for their child after the surgery (Gorodzinsky, Davis, & Drendel, 2014;Sandlin-Leming, 2010). However, very limited studies in the literature have reported the effects of educational interventions on parents' knowledge, attitudes and the use of pain relief methods that adopted a rigorous experimental design (Huth, Broome, Mussatto, & Morgan, 2003).…”

Amaç: Ebeveynlerin ağrısı olan çocuklarına yaptıkları uygulamaları belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı tipte olan araştırma bir üniversite hastanesinin çocuk kliniklerinde tedavi gören çocukların ebeveynleri ile yapıldı (n=207). Veriler, sosyo-demografik özellikler ile çocuğun ağrısı durumunda ebeveynin yaptığı uygulamaları belirlemeyi amaçlayan anket formu kullanılarak toplandı. Verilerin analizinde sayı, yüzdelik ve ki-kare testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çocukların en sık yaşadığı ağrı deneyiminin boğaz ve karın ağrısı olduğu belirlendi. Ebeveynlerin %25.3’ü çocuklarının boğaz ağrısı olduğunda doktora götürdüklerini, %39.3’ü ilaç, %59.3’ü bitki çayları, %19.3’ü ballı karışımlar kullandıklarını belirtmişlerdir. Ebeveynlerin %13.6’sı çocuklarının karın ağrısı olduğunda doktora götürdüklerini, %18.8’i ilaç, %65.8’i karına masaj, %36.8’i bitki çayları, %38.1’i sıcak uygulama yöntemlerini uyguladıklarını bildirmişlerdir. Ebeveynler çocuklarının ağrısı olduğunda ilaç dışı yöntemler olarak en sık dua okuma, masaj yapma ve ilgisini çekecek konulardan konuşmayı; en az kullanılan yöntemler olarak ise nefes alma egzersizleri, soğuk uygulama ve müzik dinletmeyi uyguladıklarını ifade etti. Ailenin gelir düzeyi, tipi ve yaşadığı yerin ilaç dışı yöntem kullanma durumunda etkili olduğu saptandı (p
