The Thai version of the defense and veterans pain rating scale (DV-PRS) for postoperative pain assessment in patients after postpartum tubal ligation and total abdominal hysterectomy: a psychometric evaluation
Authors' conclusion
The DVPRS-Thai demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties and feasibility in women undergoing postpartum tubal ligation or total abdominal hysterectomy
Study context
- Population
- Thai women undergoing postpartum tubal ligation or elective total abdominal hysterectomy at a tertiary hospital in Thailand
- Participants
- 288 women
- Comparison
- DVPRS-Thai vs modified Thai Brief Pain Inventory (mBPI-T); postpartum tubal ligation vs total abdominal hysterectomy
- Postpartum tubal ligationn = 132
- Total abdominal hysterectomyn = 156
- Outcome
- Psychometric properties of the DVPRS-Thai (test-retest reliability, internal consistency, convergent and known-group validity, responsiveness, feasibility, floor and ceiling effects)
Methodological detailssingle tertiary hospital
- Single tertiary hospital
