It is not healthcare providers' job to teach pain care words to children. The schools don't teach pain care words either. The parent teaches how to deal with healthcare; how to get help for pain. MyPainAlert tools support them with: Clear pictures, easy ASL signs, key words, and vowel sounds for each level.
Age appropriate tools and toys to help child patients learn and practice their pain communication help words, signs, sounds, or pictures.
This one of a kind book was created by three Moms for people who need pain communication help but are: too young, too memory challenged, overwhelmed by being asked to rate their pain on a 10 level scale, or confused by emojis. Commonly used pain scales require remembering a previous pain experience and comparing it. Those scales were validated on children without separating non-readers from readers. Our scale is simpler and faster to use for everyone, especially a child patient receiving surgery.
Our books are the ONLY books in print helping you teach your loved one the words to tell healthcare workers the amount of pain they experience. Amazon carries our new children's picture book: Bea - the Best Kind of Patient, and the original set of stories to help patients of all ages: My Pain Alert Scale Communication Tool. KOBO.com and Apple books carry My Pain Alert Book as a fixed layout ePub download. Put the small download on your iPad through iTunes, so you always are prepared to get the right communication help for pain. KOBO ebooks has the android version. It’s just $3.99.
Families using My Pain Alert(TM) Scale have saved time and effort getting the child patient or older limited communicator’s pain under control. Little children were able to use learned communication help words with their parents, so the best action could be done immediately. Older children came out of surgery requesting the exact pain management they needed, resulting in a shorter than previous hospital stay.
