Pain Assessment in Infants

The Premature Infant Pain Profile-Revised (PIPP-R) is a well-established, valid and reliable neonatal pain assessment measure, and the accompanying PIPP-R e-Learning Module is a user-friendly on-line educational tool developed to provide clinicians with the knowledge and skills to administer this measure in practice. Module content covers differences and similarities between the original PIPP and PIPP-R measures, defines the pain indicators that form the basis of the PIPP-R, and includes a variety of engaging and interactive strategies (illustrations, quizzes, and case studies) to teach users how to score pain in term, preterm, and extremely low gestational age neonates.
