Sažetak
Pain caused by trauma and surgery is described as very strong. In elderly pa- tients with impaired communication, pain is difficult to evaluate. Successful pain management is predicated on a comprehensive pain assessment The aim of this study is to determine the metric characteristics (reliability and validity) of the Abbey Scale for the assessment of pain and correlation be- tween pain and analgesic efficacy. The sample was made by 31 patients old- er than 65 years of age hospitalized after the hip fracture at the University Hospi- tal Centre “Sestre milosrdnice”, Zagreb, Croatia. Pain assessment used the Ab- bey pain scale (Jennifer Abbey, Austral- ian University of Queensland ; Abbey et al., 2004). The results were compared with the patient’s self-reports accord- ing to the VAS scale. Mental status of pa- tients was evaluated with MMSE scale. The reliability of the Abbey scale was confirmed by the Chrombach α coeffi- cient of internal consistency of 0.561. In order to determine the validity of the Abbey scale, the results are correlated with self-assessment of patients. The intensity before analgesia was 13 ± 3 and after 9 ± 2. T-test showed statistically significant pain reduction (P <0, 000). Abbey scale is a good tool for assessing pain in older age patients with compli- cated communication. It has good met- ric characteristics. It is suitable to show the intensity of pain before and after analgesia. The use of Abbey is associated with satisfactory analgesia.
