Primary outcome measure(s)
Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale — 4 months Pain scores are given according to the numerical values assigned to the faces on this scale. It is explained to the child that the faces on the scale do not represent people who are happy because they are not in pain or unhappy because they are in pain.
A very happy person is Face 0. A little pain is Face 1, a little more pain is Face 2, a little more pain is Face 3, and quite a lot of pain is Face 4. Face 5 represents the highest level of pain that can be imagined. The child is asked to choose the face that best describes the pain they are feeling.
Children's Fear Scale (CFS) — 4 months CFS is used to score the fear that may cause pain in children before or during the procedure. The scale is a visual measurement tool consisting of five drawn lines ranging from a neutral facial expression (0 = no fear) to a frightened facial expression (4 = very afraid), with scores ranging from 0 to 4.
The scale is used to assess the fear of pain in children before or during a procedure.
