“…Therefore, studies need to be made with other samples from other Arabic-speaking countries to replicate the findings and determine which ones are valid. Nevertheless, the findings of this research do not differ from those of other studies using different versions of the FPS-R in samples with different languages [ 8 , 24 , 26 , 46 , 47 ]. Second, the nature of the procedure that requires imagination might have affected the results since some of the children might not have experienced burning their hand; yet, the procedure was used as it had been in several previous studies [ 48 , 49 ].…”

“…Currently, as well as its original English version, the FPS-R's instructions are available in 69 languages (https://www.iasp-pain.org/resources/faces-pain-scale-revised/ #download; last accessed 4 November 2021). However, not all these versions have been thoroughly studied, and there is no information about their psychometric characteristics [8,[24][25][26].…”

The Arabic Version of the Faces Pain Scale-Revised: Cultural Adaptation, Validity, and Reliability Properties When Used with Children and Adolescents

2021

The Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) is widely used to assess pain intensity in young people. The aims of this research were to study the convergent and discriminant validity and reliability properties of a culturally adapted version of the FPS-R for its use with Arabic-speaking individuals. The sample consisted of 292 students living in Lebanon. They were interviewed online, asked to imagine themselves in one of two given situations based on their age (8–12 and 13–18 years old), and then asked rate the intensity of pain they would experience using the FPS-R-Arabic and a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS-11-Arabic). They were also asked to respond to the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS-C-Arabic). Two weeks later, participants were asked to repeat the same procedure. The data showed strong associations between the scores of the FPS-R-Arabic and NRS-11-Arabic (r = 0.72; p < 0.001), which were higher than the associations of the scores of the FPS-Arabic with the PCS-C-Arabic scores (z = 7.36, p < 0.001). The associations between the FPS-R-Arabic scores on the two measurements were also strong (r = 0.76; p < 0.001). The findings support the convergent and discriminant validity and reliability of the FPS-R-Arabic scores when used to measure pain intensity in young people aged 8 to 18 years old.

“…In addition, administration and children's acceptance of the tablet were rated by research staff on a 4-point acceptability scale (from "child wants to take the pODT" to "refusal") and parents on a 5-point Likert scale (from "very acceptable" to "completely unacceptable") ( Table 1). The older subjects (age 6 to 10 years) were questioned on how they had liked the pODT by pointing to the appropriate face of a Facial Hedonic Scale (FHS) (Figure 1) [14,15]. They were asked whether they would like to have a second tablet on another occasion, how fast the pODT disintegrated, and where residues were felt within the mouth.…”

High Acceptability of an Orally Dispersible Tablet Formulation by Children

et al. 2021

There is a high unmet medical need for child-appropriate oral dosage forms. The acceptability of a novel placebo orally dispersible tablet formulation (pODT) was therefore evaluated. Monolithic tablets contain an inorganic calcium carbonate/calcium phosphate carrier material as the main excipient. They were assessed in a cross-sectional acceptability study. The 40 child participants were between 2 to 5 years and 6 to 10 years old. One pODT with 5 mm diameter was administered to each participating child by placement on the tongue or into the buccal cavity. Parents were asked to complete a questionnaire together with the study personnel. The spontaneous reactions of the children were recorded. The ease of administration and children’s acceptance of the tablet was rated by research staff on a 4-point acceptability scale and by parents on a 5-point Likert scale. The older subjects answered how they had liked the pODT by pointing to the appropriate face of a Facial Hedonic Scale. pODT had very high acceptability as 93% of parents, and all questioned children reported the formulation to be acceptable or very acceptable. Staff reported administering pODT in these children without problems. None of the children showed distress on receipt of pODT. We conclude that the proposed child-friendly dosage form provides a convenient option for oral drug administration and is expected to enhance drug-adherence in pediatric patients.

“…The disease burden of acute and chronic conditions and the risk for suffering weighs heavily on Sub Saharan African (SSA), due to the high global disease burden and pain disproportionately prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa (Young et al 2018). This has led to the concentration of efforts in SSA and developing countries to primarily focus on disease eradication, management of emerging conditions and decreasing mortality and morbidity rate.…”

“…The prevalence and severity of pain is not only due to disease burden, but also, results from the limited capacity to effectively diagnose pain coupled with unavailability of efficacious treatment options (Miftah et al 2017). Nevertheless, because the focus in SSA is on disease eradication, there has been less focus on the accompanied level of pain and requires effective pain management approaches (Young et al, 2018). Pain is a major symptom of disease and a characteristic of many medical conditions, therefore, a contributing factor for individuals seeking medical intervention.…”

Aim The experience and expression of pain are influenced by numerous factors of which culture and the society plays a major role especially in SSA. However, few studies have focused on the impact of cultural influences on pain assessment and management in SSA. This systemic review examines pain prevalence and its intensity/severity, the socio-cultural factors that affect pain management and the extent to which socio-cultural practices influence pain assessment and management in SSA. Methods Applying the Preferred Reporting Items for Systemic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a systematic literature search was conducted. Seven electronic databases were searched, and a strict inclusion and exclusion criteria applied to the retrieve articles along with a robust filtering to identify eligible peer reviewed literature. The review process concluded with 24 eligible articles and following the Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach was applied to assess the quality of the included literature and thematic narrative analysis was conducted. Results The analysis findings identified that there are sociocultural barriers to effective pain management from the perspective of different subcultures in SSA. The evidence suggests that religious/spiritual and inherited beliefs, along with limited knowledge and health literacy influence the experience and pain management approaches applied in SSA. In addition, results indicate that, resource constraints and cultural and societal norms impact on access and use of pain management among the population in SSA. Conclusion Healthcare professionals should be aware of how the society, cultural and beliefs of their patients influence their expression of pain and subsequent pain management. Under-treatment or over-treatment might occur if health workers are unaware or do not consider the cultural norms associated with pain and pain expression, due to the subjective and individual nature of pain.
