Comparison of tools used to evaluate pain in surgery in the Czech Republic and abroad

Original language description

Introduction: Pain has accompanied man from time immemorial in many life events, from birth to death. Nowadays we have many ways to treat it. However, the right pain must be evaluated to get started. In order to obtain this information, a variety of measuring tools that focus on localization, intensity, the spread of pain, continuity with daytime, physical or psychological activity, or previous patient experience are used. Objective: The aim of this paper is to find out which place the measuring instruments take in pain assessment in surgical patients, and to map the use of individual pain tools in the Czech Republic and the world. Methods: The article was processed using an overview study. The keywords were entered into the EBSCO, PubMed, Medvik and Scopus databases. Further information has been sought in specialist monographs that deal with pain assessment in surgical patients or the use of appropriate pain-measuring instruments. Overall, 39 relevant sources were found. Results: When assessing pain in a patient, it is always necessary to distinguish between acute and chronic pain. In the Czech Republic, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) or the Face Scale (FPS) is most often used. On the other hand, the individual scales are more interconnected according to the needs of the patient, and thus the health professionals receive far more information than using only one scale. Conclusions: Nowadays measuring tools simplify the work of nurses and are an essential part of the nursing process. Despite the use of various measurement scales to evaluate pain, it is always necessary to keep in mind that each patient is individual and treats pain in a subjective way
