Comparison of two different scales in pain evaluation of patients who received mechanical ventilation support

The fact that nursing practices are based on relaxation of the person, and that nurses are together with the patients for long hours and are watching them closely, give great responsibility to intensive care nurses in determining and relieving the pain. This research conducted as a definer in order to define whether "Behavioral Pain Scale" or "Intensive Care Unit Observation Scale" evaluating the pain of the patients who stay in hospital and get mechanical ventilation support, is the best way to evaluate the pain of the patients in the university hospital. Research stages, 15.09.2015 - 31.15.2015, were created with 101 patients who have treatment and have suitable conditions to be in this research. Findings in this study have been gathered with Data Collection Form, Behavioral Pain Scale and Intensive Care Unit Observation Scale which have been designed according to the revelant literature. Data obtained at the research has been analyzed by using SPSS. Findings have been evaluated at the level of % 95 confidence interval and 0,05 meaning level. Research; in the case of both scale and rest before the procedure revealed no longer mean score of pain during the procedure (p = 0,000). The mean pain score in both scale according to introductory variables was statistically no difference. Two scales were compared and CPOT BPS based on mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit in support of evaluation of pain patients was found to be significantly more effective (p = 0,000).
