[Challenges in pain assessment and management among individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities : German version].

Introduction: Intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) include conditions associated with physical, learning, language, behavioural, and/or intellectual impairment. Pain is a common and debilitating secondary condition compromising functional abilities and quality of life.

Objectives: This article addresses scientific and clinical challenges in pain assessment and management in individuals with severe IDD.

A Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating a Pain Assessment and Management Program for Respite Workers Supporting Children With Disabilities Part One: Pain-Related Knowledge and Perceptions.

This parallel group randomized controlled trial tested effectiveness of the Let's Talk About Pain training on respite workers' (RW) pain-related knowledge and feasibility-confidence-skill ratings using between-group and within-group analyses. Fourteen children's respite organizations were randomized to pain or control training. Participants (nintervention = 66; ncontrol = 92) underwent a 3-3.

A Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating a Pain Training for Respite Workers Supporting Children With Disabilities Part Two: Training Evaluations and the Impact of Training on Knowledge Application.

Within a parallel-group randomized control trial, pain training's impact on Respite Workers' (RW) care approaches and training evaluations was explored. RW (n = 158) from 14 organizations received pain or control training following randomization. Researchers were blind until randomization; allocations were not shared explicitly with organizations/participants.

Challenges in pain assessment and management among individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Introduction: Intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) include conditions associated with physical, learning, language, behavioural, and/or intellectual impairment. Pain is a common and debilitating secondary condition compromising functional abilities and quality of life.

Objectives: This article addresses scientific and clinical challenges in pain assessment and management in individuals with severe IDD.

The importance of feasible outcome evaluations: Developing stakeholder-informed outcomes in a randomized controlled trial for children's respite workers receiving pain training.

Objective: Pain is common for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It is critical that caregivers have adequate pain assessment and management knowledge. The program has shown promise to provide pain-related knowledge and skills to respite workers; however, more systematic evaluation of the program is needed.

Study protocol for a multi-centre parallel two-group randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness and impact of a pain assessment and management program for respite workers supporting children with disabilities.

Objective: Pain is common and complex for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Secondary caregivers such as respite workers are lacking important pain-related information which can impact care. Here, we outline a randomized controlled trial (RCT) protocol testing the effectiveness of a pain training for respite workers supporting children with I/DD.

Massage therapy for symptom reduction and improved quality of life in children with cancer in palliative care: A pilot study.

Background: For children with cancer in palliative care, pain and worry are common and frequently under-managed, which negatively impacts quality of life (QOL). Massage therapy (MT) can lead to reduced pain in children with chronic illnesses. Children with cancer have experienced lower anxiety after MT.

Pain in Children With Developmental Disabilities: Development and Preliminary Effectiveness of a Pain Training Workshop for Respite Workers.

Introduction: Pain in children with intellectual disabilities (ID) is common and complex, yet there is no standard pain training for their secondary caregivers (ie, respite staff).

Objectives: Determine perceived pain training needs/preferences of children's respite staff (phase 1) and, use this information combined with extant research and guidelines to develop and pilot a training (phase 2).

Methods: In phase 1, 22 participants responded to questionnaires and engaged in individual interviews/focus groups about their experiences with pain in children with ID, and perceived training needs/preferences.

Pain in children with intellectual disabilities: a randomized controlled trial evaluating caregiver knowledge measures.

Unlabelled: Inadequate knowledge has contributed to inaccurate pain assessment and treatment for children with intellectual disabilities.

Aim: Develop and evaluate pain knowledge measures and accompanying self-report ratings; determine their sensitivity to change.

Materials & Methods: Young adults (n = 77; M = 18.

Caring for children with intellectual disabilities part 2: Detailed analyses of factors involved in respite workers' reported assessment and care decisions.

Unlabelled: Respite workers (RW) commonly care for children with intellectual disabilities (ID), and pain is common for these children. Little is known about factors which inform RW pain assessment and management-related decisions.

Objectives: To describe/determine the following in response to a series of pain-related scenarios (e.

Caring for children with intellectual disabilities part 1: Experience with the population, pain-related beliefs, and care decisions.

Unlabelled: Some children with intellectual disabilities (ID): experience pain more frequently than children without ID, express their pain differently, and are incapable of providing self-reports. No research has examined disability and pain-related beliefs of respite workers (RW) and their relations to pain assessment and management decisions for children with ID.

Objectives: (1) compare disability and pain-related beliefs between RW and a sample with little experience in ID; (2) determine whether individuals' beliefs and personal characteristics are related to pain assessment and management decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety and Fear in Pediatric Pain Contexts.

Pain is a highly prevalent experience in pediatric medical populations, both in an acute form (e.g., iatrogenic pain from needle procedures) as well as in more chronic forms (e.

Observer perceptions of pain in children with cognitive impairments: vignette development and validation.

Aim: Develop vignettes depicting different pain types in verbal and nonverbal children with cognitive impairments that could help examine pain assessment and management decisions of secondary caregivers, and conduct initial convergent and divergent validity analyses.

Methods: For six vignettes, 76 undergraduate students (38 females, mean age = 19.55) rated (0-10): pain intensity, difficulty rating pain intensity, need for medical attention and need for other attention (e.

Historical analysis in pediatric psychology: the influence of societal and professional conditions on two early pediatric psychology articles and the field's subsequent development.

The field of pediatric psychology arose in the 1960s in response to a variety of societal and professional needs. 2 seminal articles written during this time, by Jerome Kagan (1965) and Logan Wright (1967), played key roles in the field's development. However, their efficacy in galvanizing a response from medical professionals and psychologists had much to do with broad-ranging developments in pediatric public health, intraprofessional changes among medical specialties, and a growing preoccupation with "psychosocial" and parenting issues.
