This study validated the Parent Response to Children's Recurrent Pain Episodes scale (PR-PAIN) for pediatric headache patients. The PR-PAIN effectively measures parental responses, aiding in understanding and managing childhood pain.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Psychology
  • Pain Management
  • Child Psychology

Background:

  • Parental responses significantly influence a child's experience with recurrent pain.
  • Existing measures may not fully capture the nuances of parental reactions to pediatric pain episodes.
  • Understanding these responses is crucial for effective pain management strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Parent Response to Children's Recurrent Pain Episodes scale (PR-PAIN).
  • To assess both child and parent report versions of the PR-PAIN in a pediatric headache population.
  • To determine the validity and utility of the PR-PAIN in functional analyses of pediatric pain.

Main Methods:

  • A sample of 153 pediatric headache patients and their parents participated.

  • Factor analyses were conducted on both child and parent report versions of the 16-item PR-PAIN scale.
  • Correlations were examined to assess convergent, discriminant, and criterion-related validity.
  • Main Results:

    • Factor analyses identified three distinct parental response factors: Solicitude, Affiliative/Distracting, and Negative responses.
    • Both child and parent report scales demonstrated good convergent and discriminant validity.
    • Parental response factors were differentially associated with episode-specific disability and behavioral problems, supporting criterion-related validity.

    Conclusions:

    • The PR-PAIN scale, in both child and parent report forms, is a valid measure for assessing parental responses to pediatric pain.
    • The PR-PAIN can aid in conducting comprehensive functional analyses of pediatric headache and other pain conditions.
    • This scale offers valuable insights for tailoring interventions to improve outcomes for children with recurrent pain.
