مراقبت از کودکان دارای معلولیت ذهنی قسمت 1: تجربه با جمعیت، باورهای مربوط به درد و تصمیمات مراقبت

Compared to those without experience, RW held more positive disability-related beliefs, t(192) = 4.23, p < 0.001. Participants’ pain-related beliefs (e.g., sensitivity to pain) differed depending on severity of the child’s ID and participant group. Participants’ pain-related beliefs predicted care decisions. Results provide initial insight into RW pain-related beliefs about children with ID, and a basic understanding of the relations among pain beliefs, personal characteristics and pain-related decisions.
