Nursing management of children's pain: Current evidence and future directions for research

Great Ormond Street, Hospital for Children NHS Trust and Institute of Child Health

This critical literature review discusses the research evidence underpinning each of the pain standards in the National Service Framework for Children: Standard for hospital services. Relevant evidence-based reviews and clinical practice guidelines are highlighted, and aspects of children's pain management where the research evidence is particularly strong or weak are identified. Priorities are suggested for nurse-led research aimed at generating new knowledge to improve pain management for children.
