Wong-Baker Facial Expression Rating Scale
This scale is used to diagnose pain in children aged 3-18 years. In this scale, there are six facial expressions representing the increasing pain intensity from 0 to 5 from left to right. The leftmost facial expression has a smiling expression indicating a pain-free state, while the rightmost facial expression has a crying expression corresponding to the most severe pain. The child is instructed to choose the face that best expresses his or her feelings. Six facial expressions are scored between 0-5 points from left to right (0 points = very happy/no pain, 5 points = indicates the most severe pain). As the score obtained from the scale increases, the pain tolerance decreases, and as the score decreases, the tolerance increases.
Time frame: 8 MONTHS
Child Fear Scale
The CLS is a scale of 0-4, showing five faces ranging from a neutral expression (0 = no concern) to the feared face (4 = severe anxiety). The child is told to choose the best facial expression that expresses his or her feelings. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the child's fear level increases.
