Pain Talk. A qualitative exploration of how nurses talk about pain to children and parents.

The overall aim of this research will be to explore how nurses talk to children and their families about pain and also what factors influence nurses’ language and paralanguage. This will be a mixed methods study (Phase 1 survey, Phase 2 interviews) with nurses working with children in a range of different settings (primary, secondary, tertiary) across the world.

We are interested in how nurses talk to children and their parents about pain.
