Comparison of two behavioural pain scales for the assessment of procedural pain: A systematic review
Aim: To examine the clinical utility and measurement properties of the CriticalâCare Pain Observation Tool and the Behavioural Pain Scale when used to assess pain during procedures in the intensive care unit. Design: A systematic review was conducted, guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and MetaâAnalyses checklist. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in CINAHL, MEDLINE, EMBASE and PsychINFO (01 October 2019). Study selection, data extraction and assessment of methodological quality were performed by a pair of authors working independently. Different psychometric properties were addressed: interârater reliability, internal consistency, testâretest reliability, discriminant validity and criterion validity. Results: Eleven studies were included. Both CriticalâCare Pain Observation Tool and the Behavioural Pain Scale showed good reliability and validity and were good options for assessing pain during painful procedures with intensive care unit patients unable to selfâreport on pain. The CriticalâCare Pain Observation Tool is to be preferred since this tool was shown to have particularly good reliability and validity in assessing pain during procedures, but the Behavioural Pain Scale is an appropriate alternative.publishedVersio
