Long-term pain and recovery after major pediatric surgery: A qualitative study with teens, parents, and perioperative care providers

Research developing targeted treatment focused on coping with children’s long-term pain after surgery is needed due to the high prevalence of chronic pain after surgery. This qualitative study aimed to 1) understand the child’s and family’s experiences of pain over the course of their surgical experience, and 2) gather stakeholder input regarding potential barriers and facilitators of perioperative intervention delivery. Fifteen children ages 10-18 years who underwent recent major surgery, their primary caregivers, and 17 perioperative healthcare providers were interviewed.
