NursPainPrevent: A Prospective Observational Study on Pain During a Bed Bath.

Background: Although bed baths are known to cause pain, the engendered pain frequency and intensity remain poorly studied. This prospective, observational study was undertaken to examine prospectively, on a given day, patients' bed bath-associated pain in the general in-hospital population.

Methods: Eight external investigators observed 166 bed baths given in 23 units in 5 hospitals.

[Using restraint during treatment: Definitions, contexts and benchmarks].

The clinical practice of nursing sometimes leads to physically restraining the patient while carrying out a therapeutic or diagnostic procedure. This laconic observation says little about the many questions raised by the use of restraint on a person during treatment. The questions are professional, institutional, philosophical, ethical, legal and deontological.

[How do parents perceive their child's restraint during emergency care?].

Restraint during care in pediatrics is a professional practice that is beginning to be studied. However, few studies explore this phenomenon from the point of view of the parents of children who are firmly restrained during care. Guided by the caregiver's perspective, care remains a priority for them.

[Measuring the intensity of restraint during care in children: Validation of the Pric scale].

Restraint is used relatively often during pediatric care. However, no scale has yet been validated to assess its intensity. The study presented here did this for the Procedural Restraint Intensity in Children tool in metrological terms (with some limitations).
