| Abstrak/Abstract |
Purpose : Pain assessment is a key component of good pain management in hospitalized infants. This study aimed to translate and adapt a version of pain measurement in infants, the Premature Infant Pain profile Revised (PIPP-R) into Indonesian.
Method : This research was a cross sectional study. The adaptation process of the measuring instrument used a modified Brislin method which included forward translation, back translation 1, group discussion 1, back translation 2, group discussion 2, and pilot testing on neonatal nurses (feasibility test, inter rater reliability using ICC, internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha coefficient).
Results : The PIPP-R version in English has been translated into Indonesian. In general, nurses assessed this measuring instrument as feasible. The inter rater reliability showed a high agreement (ICC = 0.968, p = 0.001) and this measuring instrument had good internal consistency (? = 0.856).
Conclusion : The Indonesian version of PIPP-R is easy to use and shows good psychometric properties. The use of this measuring instrument will help nurses and researchers obtain accurate infant pain intensity values. The hospital neonatal room service standard in Indonesia needs to be improved by having a sufficient number of oximeters for neonates.
