    AbstractThis article reports on a qualitative study, that explored factors influencing nurses' pain assessment and interventions with children. Although many factors appear to influence decision-making processes, nurses seem to attach more weight to some factors than to others. For example, medical diagnosis and the intensity with which the child expresses its pain are used as determining factors for the decision to administer analgesics. In this article the results of the study, their relationship to information reported in the literature as well as their implications for practice and research are further elaborated and discussed.
