Predictors of a child's ability to use a visual analogue scale

Abstract: The majority of kindergarten children in our study could not complete a VAS accurately. Cognitive ability, combined with chronological age, was the best predictor of a child's accurate use of a VAS, as determined by logistic regression. Paediatric researchers may need to consider alternative rating scales to measure perceptions in children under 7 years of age.

“…El cuestionario de Watson et al (8) evalúa la intensidad del dolor (peor dolor durante el último mes) mediante una escala análoga visual (EAV) que va desde 0 hasta 10; aspecto que fue modificado debido a que la EAV aplicada en niños pequeños puede producir datos en escala ordinal (34,35), adicionalmente para asegurar la comprensión y apropiado uso por parte de los niños, que pueden llegar a tener diferentes niveles cognitivos, se requiere de una cuidadosa explicación; por otro lado, al fotocopiar el formato se puede alterar la escala incrementando o disminuyendo la línea, lo cual puede generar error en la evaluación de la intensidad del dolor (36). Para superar estas dificultades, las autoras decidieron usar la escala WBFPRS (22), que posee propiedades psicométricas adecuadas (reproducibilidad a los 15 minutos r = 0,90 (37), a las 8 horas r = 0,84 [38]), ha sido ampliamente usada, se encuentra traducida al idioma español y ha sido preferida por los niños en comparación con otras escalas (39,40).…”

“…Algumas modificações também têm sido propostas para EAVs destinadas a crianças, em versões coloridas e com faces felizes e tristes. Tem-se afirmado que crianças com menos de 7 anos de idade não são capazes de completar EAVs com precisão; elas usam apenas as extremidades, ou então as extremidades e o meio da escala 15 . Haavisto et al 16 , da Finlândia, relataram que a EAV tem potencial enquanto ferramenta subjetiva de investigação de obstrução nasal em crianças com mais de 7 anos de idade.…”
