Objective[edit | edit source]
Pain examination in pediatric clients is not easy to analyze or understand just like in adults, due to varying pain experiences and limits, and also due to diverse social and cognitive developmental milestones[1]. The Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) is a measure of pain intensity. It was modified from the Faces Pain Scale[2] to facilitate a more acceptable 0 to 10 criterion in scoring pain sensation. The scale shares an intimate straightforward relationship with the visual analog pain scale (VAS) throughout the 4 to 16 years age group[3]. It is relatively simple to administer.
Intended Population[edit | edit source]
Children older than 4 years old
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
According to the International Association For The Study Of Pain (IASP), it is a self-reported measure of pain intensity, that requires very few instruments like the photocopied faces to administer. The lack of smiles and tears on the scale is advantageous. It is particularly recommended for use with children older than 4. The clinician scores the chosen face 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10, counting left to right, so "0" equals "No pain" and "10" equals "Very much pain." Make sure you do not use words like "happy" and '"sad." This scale is intended to measure how children feel inside, not how their face looks.
Evidence[edit | edit source]
Reliability[edit | edit source]
In a study that assessed pre and post analgesia administration pain scores the indices of relative reliability showed a good agreement between the test and retest for the scale, 0.76 (95% CI 0.72-0.80).[4]
Validity[edit | edit source]
In the same study that assessed pre and post analgesia administration pain scores, FPS-R was compared against the VAS and Pearson correlations between the two were found to be r = 0.78 at 60 minutes after medication administration, showing positive and strong correlations[4].
Responsiveness[edit | edit source]
The scale demonstrated good responsiveness to change in the study[4] that assessed pre and post analgesia administration pain scores. The mean pain scores pre-analgesia were SD = 1.82; median: 6.0; IQR: 4.0-6.0 and after analgesic administration the mean pain scores were SD = 2.31; median: 4.0; IQR: 2.0-6.0. The mean differences in pain scores were significantly lower 60 minutes after the administration of the medication (mean = −1.61, SD = 2.00, P < 0.0001) which suggests high responsiveness of the scale to pain relief.
