Abstract

Background: Assessment of neonatal infant pain is important for effective pain control; however, there is no pain scale for neonates in Japan. Purpose: To establish inter-rater reliability, internal consistency and construct validity of a Japanese version of the Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP). Method: 101 preterm and term neonates were measured under four conditions using the Japanese version of the PIPP; baseline, handling, skin puncture and after the procedure. Result: Inter-rater reliability analysis among 4 nurses of the pain event score of the PIPP had an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.87-0.93. Cronbach's alpha for the six items was 0.71, suggesting that the measurements demonstrated acceptable internal consistency. The mean total PIPP score for the pain condition (skin puncture) was significantly different from other conditions (baseline, handling and after the procedure), suggesting that the scale accurately discriminating between pain and nonpain conditions. Conclusion: The Japanese version of the Premature Infant Pain Profile reliable and so a valid instrument for pain assessment in neonates.
