JPE 33.1: The Farver–Campos Labor Coping Scale as a Replacement for the 10-Point Pain Scale for Labor (2025 CE Subscription)

5 (1 vote)


Back to Package

The 10-point pain scale was developed to avoid undertreated pain in the hospital setting. Developed in a Veterans Administration hospital for medical–surgical patients in 2003, the 10-point pain scale was adopted in health care as part of the “pain as the fifth vital sign” initiative. The pain scale was implemented in maternity care as part of a general hospital initiative. Assessing coping is more appropriate to the labor process than focusing on pain or its avoidance. The Farver–Campos Labor Coping Scale is evidence-based and promotes vaginal birth and personal labor care by guiding nurses and laboring women through a number of coping options. The scale is an appropriate tool to replace the 10-point pain scale in the maternity care setting.
