1) Kroniske smerter hos sykehjemspasienter
Tidsskr Nor Lægeforen nr. 10, 2005; 125: 1349–51
Hovedbudskap:
En av tre pasienter med alvorlig
svikt kan formidle smerteinntrykk
For kommunikative pasienter er
moderat/godt samsvar mellom
pasients og pleiers vurdering
Det er et forbedringspotensial med
hensyn til smertevurdering hos pasienter
med kommunikasjonsvansker
Det er behov for en mer systematisk
vurdering av mulig smerte hos pasienter
som kommuniserer dårlig
2) The Checklist of Nonverbal Pain Indicators
(CNPI): testing of reliability and validity in
Norwegian nursing homes.
doi:10.1093/ageing/afj008
Conclusion:
The CNPI is a simple and short assessment tool with potential
to facilitate nursing staff’s alertness regarding pain
behaviours in NH patients and it can be managed by various
categories of nursing personnel. The CNPI is a reliable and
valid instrument for assessing pain in demented and mentally
impaired NH patients. Due to the small number of
comparisons between various groups of nursing personnel,
our results cannot be generalised.
Key points
The CNPI is a simple pain assessment tool that can be
used at the bedside.
The CNPI reveals an acceptable test–retest and interrater
reliability and concurrent validity when used by
regular nursing home carers.
