ABSTRAK
Kontrol nyeri tetap merupakan problem signifikan pada pelayanan kesehatan di seluruh dunia. Penanganan nyeri yang efektif
tergantung pada pemeriksaan dan penilaian nyeri yang seksama berdasarkan informasi subjektif maupun objektif. Anamnesis
pasien nyeri sebaiknya menggunakan kombinasi pertanyaan terbuka dan tertutup untuk memperoleh informasi masalah pasien. Selain itu,
perhatikan juga faktor- faktor seperti tempat wawancara, sikap yang suportif dan tidak menghakimi, tanda-tanda verbal dan nonverbal,
dan meluangkan waktu yang cukup. Penggunaan mnemonik PQRST (Provokatif Quality Region Severity Time) juga akan membantu
mengumpulkan informasi vital yang berkaitan dengan proses nyeri pasien.(1)
ABSTRACT
Pain control is still an important issue in health management. An effective management depends on through examination and
assessment based on objective as well as subjective information. Combination of closed and open questions can be utilized in a
supportive and non- inclined manner in relaxed environment, together with observation on verbal as well as non verbal clues. Use
of PQRST mnemonics can help obtain important information. Yudiyanta, Novita Khoirunnisa, Ratih Wahyu Novitasari. Pain

Total Score
Scoring:
Score a 0 if the behavior was not observed. Score a 1 if the behavior occurred even briefly during activity
or at rest. The total number of indicators is summed for the behaviors observed at rest, with movement,
and overall. There are no clear cutoff scores to indicate severity of pain; instead, the presence of any of
the behaviors may be indicative of pain, warranting further investigation, treatment, and monitoring by the
practitioner.

TOTAL SCORE
(Warden et al., 2003)
Scoring:
The total score ranges from 0-10 points. A possible interpretation of the scores is: 1-3=mild pain; 4-6=moderate pain;
7-10=severe pain. These ranges are based on a standard 0-10 scale of pain, but have not been substantiated in the
literature for this tool.

PAINAD Item Definitions
(Warden et al., 2003)
Breathing
1. Normal breathing is characterized by effortless, quiet, rhythmic (smooth) respirations.
2. Occasional labored breathing is characterized by episodic bursts of harsh, difficult, or wearing respirations.
3. Short period of hyperventilation is characterized by intervals of rapid, deep breaths lasting a short period of time.
4. Noisy labored breathing is characterized by negative-sounding respirations on inspiration or expiration. They may
be loud, gurgling, wheezing. They appear strenuous or wearing.
5. Long period of hyperventilation is characterized by an excessive rate and depth of respirations lasting a
considerable time.
6. Cheyne-Stokes respirations are characterized by rhythmic waxing and waning of breathing from very deep to
shallow respirations with periods of apnea (cessation of breathing).
Negative Vocalization
1. None is characterized by speech or vocalization that has a neutral or pleasant quality.
2. Occasional moan or groan is characterized by mournful or murmuring sounds, wails, or laments. Groaning is
characterized by louder than usual inarticulate involuntary sounds, often abruptly beginning and ending.
3. Low level speech with a negative or disapproving quality is characterized by muttering, mumbling, whining,
grumbling, or swearing in a low volume with a complaining, sarcastic, or caustic tone.
4. Repeated troubled calling out is characterized by phrases or words being used over and over in a tone that
suggests anxiety, uneasiness, or distress.
5. Loud moaning or groaning is characterized by mournful or murmuring sounds, wails, or laments in much louder
than usual volume. Loud groaning is characterized by louder than usual inarticulate involuntary sounds, often abruptly
beginning and ending.
6. Crying is characterized by an utterance of emotion accompanied by tears. There may be sobbing or quiet weeping.
Facial Expression
1. Smiling or inexpressive. Smiling is characterized by upturned corners of the mouth, brightening of the eyes, and a
look of pleasure or contentment. Inexpressive refers to a neutral, at ease, relaxed, or blank look.
2. Sad is characterized by an unhappy, lonesome, sorrowful, or dejected look. There may be tears in the eyes.
3. Frightened is characterized by a look of fear, alarm, or heightened anxiety. Eyes appear wide open.
4. Frown is characterized by a downward turn of the corners of the mouth. Increased facial wrinkling in the forehead
and around the mouth may appear.
5. Facial grimacing is characterized by a distorted, distressed look. The brow is more wrinkled, as is the area around
the mouth. Eyes may be squeezed shut.
Body Language
1. Relaxed is characterized by a calm, restful, mellow appearance. The person seems to be taking it easy.
2. Tense is characterized by a strained, apprehensive, or worried appearance. The jaw may be clenched. (Exclude
any contractures.)
3. Distressed pacing is characterized by activity that seems unsettled. There may be a fearful, worried, or disturbed
element present. The rate may be faster or slower.
4. Fidgeting is characterized by restless movement. Squirming about or wiggling in the chair may occur. The person
might be hitching a chair across the room. Repetitive touching, tugging, or rubbing body parts can also be observed.
5. Rigid is characterized by stiffening of the body. The arms and/or legs are tight and inflexible. The trunk may appear
straight and unyielding. (Exclude any contractures.)
6. Fists clenched is characterized by tightly closed hands. They may be opened and closed repeatedly or held tightly
shut.
7. Knees pulled up is characterized by flexing the legs and drawing the knees up toward the chest. An overall troubled
appearance. (Exclude any contractures.)
8. Pulling or pushing away is characterized by resistiveness upon approach or to care. The person is trying to escape
by yanking or wrenching him- or herself free or shoving you away.
9. Striking out is characterized by hitting, kicking, grabbing, punching, biting, or other form of personal assault.
Consolability
1. No need to console is characterized by a sense of well-being. The person appears content.
2. Distracted or reassured by voice or touch is characterized by a disruption in the behavior when the person is
spoken to or touched. The behavior stops during the period of interaction, with no indication that the person is at all
distressed.
3. Unable to console, distract, or reassure is characterized by the inability to soothe the person or stop a behavior with
words or actions. No amount of comforting, verbal or physical, will alleviate the behavior.
