Variability in Infant Acute Pain Responding Meaningfully Obscured By Averaging Pain Responses
(Pain, 2013)
Given the inherent variability in pain responding, using an
"average" pain score may pose serious threats to internal and external
validity of current research findings. Using growth mixture modeling
(GMM), the paper ...
A cross-sectional examination of the relationships between caregiver proximal soothing and infant pain over the first year of life
(Pain, 2013)
Although previous research has examined the relationships between caregiver proximal
soothing and infant pain, there is a paucity of work taking infant age into account, despite the steep
developmental trajectory that ...
Predicting preschool pain-related anticipatory distress: the relative contribution of longitudinal and concurrent factors
(Pain, 2016)
Anticipatory distress prior to a painful medical procedure can lead to negative sequelae
including heightened pain experiences, avoidance of future medical procedures, and
potential non-compliance with preventative ...
The role of infant pain behaviour in predicting parent pain ratings
(Pain and Research Management, 2014)
BACKGROUND: Research investigating how observers empathize or
form estimations of an individual experiencing pain suggests that both
characteristics of the observer (‘top down’) and characteristics of the individual
in ...
Infant pain-regulation as an early predictor of childhood temperament
(2013)
BACKGROUND: There is considerable variability in infants’ responses
to painful stimuli, including facial and vocal expressions. This variability
in pain-related distress response may be an indicator of temperament ...
A longitudinal examination of verbal reassurance during infant immunization: Occurrence and examination of emotional availability as a potential moderator
(Journal of Pediatric Psychology, 2012)
OBJECTIVE:
This study investigated the associations between caregiver verbal reassurance and infant pain-related distress during immunization over the first year of life. The relationships between verbal reassurance and ...
Naturalistic Parental Pain Management During Immunizations over the First Year of Life: Observational Norms from the OUCH Cohort
(Pain, 2013)
No research to date has descriptively catalogued what parents
of healthy infants are naturalistically doing to manage their infant's
pain over immunization appointments across the first year of life. This
knowledge, in ...
Developing a Measure of Distress-Promoting Parent Behaviours During Infant Vaccination: Assessing Reliability and Validity
(Canadian Journal of Pain, 2018)
Background: Infants rely on their parents’ sensitive and contingent soothing to support their regulation from pain-related distress. However, despite being of potentially equal or greater import, there has been little focus ...
Distress responses in a routine vaccination context: Relationships to early child school readiness and mental health.
(Children, 2018)
Social and emotional competencies, such as distress regulation, are established in early
childhood and are critical for the development of children’s mental health and wellbeing. Routine
vaccinations in primary care ...
An examination of the reciprocal and concurrent relations between behavioral and cardiac indicators of acute pain in toddlerhood
(Pain, 2020-01)
The aim of this study was to examine the concurrent and predictive relations between healthy toddlers’ pain behavior and cardiac indicators (i.e., heart rate [HR], respiratory sinus arrhythmia [RSA]) during routine ...
