ABSTRACT
This study examined concurrent self-reports of pain intensity and behavioral responses in 25 children aged 3-7 yr. Behavioral (Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Pain Scale, CHEOPS) and self-report (the Oucher and Analogue Chromatic Continuous Scale) measures of pain were obtained following major surgery. The two self-report measures were strongly and significantly correlated, and the pattern of scores over the 36-hr observation period was as expected. There was little relationship between the scores for the self-report and the behavioral measures. Many children who reported severe pain manifested few of the behavioral indicators of distress used in the CHEOPS. This behavioral response pattern may occur commonly in children experiencing pain after surgery and may limit the applicability of current behavioral scales as sole measures of pain intensity in younger children.
