THE APPLICATION OF TWO PAIN ASSESSMENT METHODS IN CLINICAL REHABILITATION MEDICINE
Abstract
Objective: To explore the consistency between two pain assessment methods, namely the revised Wong-Baker faces pain scale revision (FPS-R) and the Peking Opera facial makeup (POFM) expression assessment methods. Method: From March 1 to June 30, 2024, FPS-R and BOFM were used to evaluate and measure pain in 41 hospitalized rehabilitation patients. The pain results measured by the FPS-R and BOFM pain assessment methods showed no statistically significant difference, and the consistency between the two methods was good. Conclusion: Peking Opera facial expressions (POFM) are convenient and suitable for Chinese people to use in evaluating patient pain.
