Methodology

Clinical rating scales for assessing pain in newborn infants: Do you utilize the rating scales for assessing pain in newborn infants? Your input is needed on a review considering Clinical rating scales for assessing pain in newborn infants for people who utilize the available rating scales for pain assessments in newborn infants.

Skills / interests: Consumer (public, patient, carer) input

Would you be interested in helping us with this article focused on whether the available rating scales for assessing pain in newborns need to be developed further to include non-verbal cues, such as: heart frequency, facial expressions, body movement, etc? I am looking for a consumer who would be willing to peer review this Cochrane systematic review “Clinical rating scales for assessing pain in newborn infants” 

Cochrane considers a consumer to be a person with experience of the condition (in this case, assessing pain in newborn infants), as a carer/family member of a patient. From a consumer perspective, we are interested if the language of the review, especially the language used in the Plain Language Summary, is accessible and if it feels relevant for those assessing pain in newborn infants, such that it will be helpful to patients and carers with healthcare decision making.  

While you are welcome to provide feedback on any aspect of the review, you can focus your attention on the summary sections. Our aim is for this to be a manageable task, that does not overburden consumer reviewers. 

Thank you in advance for considering!
