Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

there a significant difference in the nurses’ attribution of pain to each of the two ethnic groups? (3) Was there a significant difference in the patients’ and the nurses’ evaluations of patient pain? Using the McGill Pain Questionnaire, amount of analgesia and three physiologic measures, no differences were found between the two ethnic groups on any of the measures of pain. The nurses’ assessment of pain was measured using the Present Pain Intensity Scale; nurses assigned more pain to Anglo patients than to Mexican American patients. Comparing patients’ and nurses’ evaluation of pain, all nurses evaluated patients’ pain as less than the patients did. Examining other sample characteristics, for the nurses, pain was significantly related to patient education, place of birth, language, and religion (Calvillo & Flaskerud, 1993). This study highlighted the need for nurses to be more aware of their own values and perceptions, as these may affect how they evaluate patient’s pain and how that pain is treated or managed. The study also supported the frequently reported finding that health professionals underestimate or even discount patient pain. There have been many developments in the assessment of pain since this study was published 20 years ago. Criticism of health professionals’ disregard for patient pain has led to mandated assessments of pain. Patient pain is evaluated routinely now when a person comes for an outpatient clinical visit or when in the hospital. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) requires that accredited hospitals and clinics must routinely assess all patients for pain and the Veterans Administration has designated pain as the 5th vital sign (Krebs, Carey, & Weinberger, 2007; Mularski et al., 2006). The practice of universal pain screening has become widespread and a commonly used measure is the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) to screen for pain. All of us have been asked to rate our level of pain on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) and to mark on a front and back drawing of a person where our pain is occurring. Despite this assessment being better than nothing, its subjective, imprecise and repetitive nature makes it easy for healthcare workers to ignore or dismiss. It also can be difficult for patients to communicate their pain using the NRS, or conversely, it has been easy to abuse in emergency rooms for patients seeking narcotic prescriptions.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
