Abstract

Abstract Background and objectives: The Behavioral Pain Scale is a pain assessment tool for uncommunicative and sedated Intensive Care Unit patients. The lack of a Brazilian scale for pain assessment in adults mechanically ventilated justifies the relevance of this study that aimed to validate the Brazilian version of Behavioral Pain Scale as well as to correlate its scores with the records of physiological parameters, sedation level and severity of disease. Methods: Twenty-five Intensive Care Unit adult patients were included in this study. The Brazilian Behavioral Pain Scale version (previously translated and culturally adapted) and the recording of physiological parameters were performed by two investigators simultaneously during rest, during eye cleaning (non-painful stimulus) and during endotracheal suctioning (painful stimulus). Results: High values of responsiveness coefficient (coefficient = 3.22) were observed. The Cronbach's alpha of total Behavioral Pain Scale score at eye cleaning and endotracheal suctioning was 0.8. The intraclass correlation coefficient of total Behavioral Pain Scale score was ≥ 0.8 at eye cleaning and endotracheal suctioning. There was a significant highest Behavioral Pain Scale score during application of painful procedure when compared with rest period (p ≤ 0.0001). However, no correlations were observed between pain and hemodynamic parameters, sedation level, and severity of disease. Conclusions: This pioneer validation study of Brazilian Behavioral Pain Scale exhibits satisfactory index of internal consistency, interrater reliability, responsiveness and validity. Therefore, the Brazilian Behavioral Pain Scale version was considered a valid instrument for being used in adult sedated and mechanically ventilated patients in Brazil.

Resumo

Resumo Justificativa e objetivos: A Escala Comportamental de Dor (Behavioral Pain Scale) é uma ferramenta de avaliação da dor para pacientes não-comunicativos e sedados em unidade de tratamento intensivo (UTI). A falta de uma escala brasileira para a avaliação da dor em adultos sob ventilação mecânica justifica a relevância deste estudo que teve por objetivo validar a versão brasileira da Escala Comportamental de Dor (ECD), bem como correlacionar seus escores com os registros de parâmetros fisiológicos, nível de sedação e gravidade da doença. Métodos: Vinte e cinco pacientes adultos internados em UTI foram incluídos neste estudo. A versão brasileira da ECD (previamente traduzida e adaptada culturalmente) e os registros dos parâmetros fisiológicos foram realizados simultaneamente por dois avaliadores durante o repouso, durante a limpeza dos olhos (estímulo não doloroso) e durante a aspiração endotraqueal (estímulo doloroso). Resultados: Valores elevados do coeficiente de coeficiente de responsividade (coeficiente = 3,22) foram observados. O coeficiente alfa de Cronbach do escore total da ECD durante a limpeza dos olhos e aspiração endotraqueal foi de 0,8. O coeficiente de correlação intraclasse do escore total da ECD foi ≥ 0,8 durante a limpeza dos olhos e aspiração endotraqueal. Houve um escore significativamente mais alto na ECD durante a aplicação do estímulo doloroso em comparação com o período de descanso (p ≤ 0,0001). No entanto, não foram observadas correlações entre dor e parâmetros hemodinâmicos, nível de sedação e gravidade da doença. Conclusões: Este estudo pioneiro de validação da ECD brasileira apresenta índices satisfatórios de consistência interna, confiabilidade entre avaliadores, responsividade e validade. Portanto, a versão da ECD brasileira foi considerada um instrumento válido para ser usado em pacientes adultos sedados e ventilados mecanicamente no Brasil.
