“…A Spanish study on pain scale preference among the elderly found that men preferred the FPS-R (Miró et al, 2005), which is identical to our findings. A study conducted with Czech women after gynaecological surgery revealed that the NRS was the most preferred scale (in 43% of the cases) (Mandysová, Kadlečková, 2015), which is almost identical to our findings as well. Still, other previously published gender-based results are in stark contrast to our results.…”

Aim: The first aim was to determine the performance of three self-report pain scales, the combined Visual Analogue Scale / Numerical Rating Scale (VAS/NRS), NRS, and Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R), in a study on pain in Czech patients with stroke. The second aim was to compare the patients' overall pain scale preference rankings and preference rankings by gender, the location of the brain damage, and cognitive functioning. Design: The design was cross-sectional. Methods: Eighty hospitalized patients with stroke evaluated their pain using the mentioned scales and subsequently expressed their preference rankings of the scales. The data were described and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Nineteen (24%) patients reported pain using at least one scale. Overall, pain intensity scores varied by 0-1 point in 75 (93.8%) patients, and the highest Spearman correlation was 0.997 (p < 0.001) between the VAS/NRS and the NRS. Overall, the NRS had the highest preference ranking (it ranked first or second in 75% of the cases). Conclusion: Correlations across all three scales were moderate to high; therefore, they appear equivalent. The scales can be recommended for clinical use in patients with stroke, provided they are able to collaborate.

ÖzPurpose: This study was conducted in order to compare the level of compliance and patient preferences among the Visual Analogue, Numerical Rating, Verbal Descriptor and Facial Pain Rating scales that are commonly used in adults, including the elderly. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted using a descriptive research model at the surgery clinics of a university hospital between March 17 and June 17, 2016. A total of 120 adult patients, being 40 in each group, were included in the study. Individual Characteristics Form, Visual Analogue Scale, Numerical Rating Scale, Verbal Descriptor Scale and Facial Pain Scales were used to collect the data. Result: In this study, the correlation coefficients between 0.71 -0.83 and four pain scales were found to be in conformity with each other. Numerical Rating Scale was the most simple scale that was preferred to be used in the future by all patients with the least error rate, while the Visual Descriptor Scale was the least simple and least preferred scale by the patients with the highest error rate. The most simple and more preferred scale to use by young and middle-aged patients was the Numerical Rating Scale, while the elderly selected the Visual Descriptor Scale as the most simple and more preferred scale to use. Conclusion:The four scales are in good agreement with each other and Numerical Rating Scale is the first choice, the Verbal Descriptor Scale is the second choice, and the Visual Analogue Scale is the last choice in evaluating the postoperative acute pain intensity. Amaç: Bu çalışmada yaşlılar da dahil yetişkinlerde yaygın kullanılan Görsel Analog, Numerik Orantılama, Sözel Tanımlayıcı ve Yüz Ağrı ölçekleri arasındaki uyum düzeyini ve hasta tercihlerini karşılaştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma 17 Mart -17 Haziran 2016 tarihleri arasında bir üniversite hastanesinin cerrahi kliniklerinde tanımlayıcı araştırma modeli kullanılarak yapıldı. Bu çalışmaya her grupta 40 kişi olmak üzere toplam 120 yetişkin hasta çalışmaya alındı. Verilerin toplanmasında bireysel özellikler formu, Görsel Analog Ölçeği, Numerik Orantılama Ölçeği, Sözel Tanımlayıcı Ölçek ve Yüz Ağrı Ölçekleri kullanıldı. Bulgular: Bu çalışmada 0,71 -0,83 arasında değişen korelasyon katsayıları ile dört ağrı ölçeğinin birbirleriyle iyi bir uyum içinde olduğu bulundu. Numerik Orantılama Ölçeği, tüm hastalar tarafından kullanılması en basit ve gelecekte kullanılması en fazla tercih edilen ve en az hata oranına sahip ölçek olurken Görsel Analog Ölçeği hastalar tarafından en az basit bulunan ve en az tercih edilen, en fazla hata oranına sahip ölçek olduğu saptandı. Genç ve orta yaş grubu hastalar tarafından kullanılması en basit ve fazla tercih edilen ölçek Numerik Orantılama Ölçeği seçilirken, yaşlılar tarafından Sözel Tanımlayıcı Ölçek seçildi. Sonuç:Postoperatif akut ağrı yoğunluğunun değerlendirilmesinde dört ölçeğin birbirleri ile iyi bir uyum içinde olduğu, Numerik Orantılama Ölçeği'nin ilk, Sözel Tanımlayıcı Ölçeğin ikinci tercih olarak seçilmesi ve Görsel Analog Ölçeği'nin is...
