Misinterpretation of the Faces Pain Scale-Revised in adult clinical practice
Acute Pain, 06/18/09
Jastrzab G et al. - A substantial proportion of surveyed nurses were unable to describe the correct use of the FPS-R at either point of knowledge canvassing. In practice, it would appear that these nurses, if using the FPS-R, would not ask the patient about the intensity of their pain in situations when the patient is capable of a self-report. Implemented education strategies did not contribute to the correct application of FPS-R tool. Clinicians need to be aware of the possibility of misinterpreted application of self-reporting pain intensity measurement tools which employ a facial expression.
