Documentation relating to pain was limited. Pain assessments were not always recorded and docu- mentation tended to focus on the medications given. The pain-relieving interventions used were rarely recorded in children’snotes,and there was little evi- dence of their effectiveness being evaluated. Lack of documentation could be attributed, at least in part, to the format of paperwork in the hospital that did not facilitate regular recording, and the practice on the unit was to provide a handover form that con- tained most of the documented pain information. However,alack of documentation has been noted in other studies(Johnstonet al.,2007;Shrestha-Ranjit & Manias, 2010; Simons & Moseley, 2009; Taylor
