Abstract

Pain is an experience that negatively affects a person's life. When choosing the intervention strategies to be planned for the treatment of pain, an accurate assessment of the patient's level of pain is crucial. Asking the patient if they are in pain is the simplest way to determine their level of pain. However, a simple "yes or no" assessment is insufficient. To assess pain, both single-dimensional and multidimensional scales are employed nowadays. In this article, due to the subjectivity and individuality of pain; Information about commonly used pain scales developed specifically for certain patient populations will be given.

Keywords

Farklı Hasta Gruplarında Ağrı Değerlendirmesi

Abstract

Ağrı, kişinin hayatını olumsuz etkileyen bir deneyimdir. Ağrı tedavisi için planlanacak müdahale stratejilerini seçerken, hastanın ağrı düzeyinin doğru bir şekilde değerlendirilmesi çok önemlidir. Hastaya ağrı duyup duymadığını sormak, ağrı düzeylerini belirlemenin en basit yoludur. Ancak basit bir "evet veya hayır" değerlendirmesi yetersizdir. Ağrıyı değerlendirmek için günümüzde hem tek boyutlu hem de çok boyutlu ölçekler kullanılmaktadır. Bu yazıda ağrının öznelliği ve bireyselliği nedeniyle; belirli hasta popülasyonları için özel olarak geliştirilmiş yaygın olarak kullanılan ağrı skalaları hakkında bilgi verilecektir

Keywords
