Paediatric Pain Management Experiences of Parents of Children in Botswana Referral Hospitals
The results show that parents/guardians in LMIC equally understand the children's pain management and should be involved in decision-making regarding pain management as equal partners. It further highlights the challenges faced by parents due to poorly and inadequately treated acute paediatric pain in hospital units and pushes for hospital policies that ensure that pain is adequately managed for all children.
