    Resum:
    The verbal Numerical Rating Scale (vNRS-11) is one of the most commonly used self-report instruments to measure pediatric pain intensity even though there were no studies supporting its psychometric properties. This dissertation contributes to this gapin the literature. The results of this doctoral dissertation show that the vNRS-11 provides valid pain intensity reports when used with children and adolescents aged 6 years and above. Specifically, favorable results have been obtained for the construct validity (considering the convergent and discriminate validity) and criterion validity (considering the concurrent and predictive validity). In addition, our results indicate that the pain intensity ratings provided with the vNRS-11 agreed with those reported with anelectronic version of the scale (eNRS-11). To sum up, the results of this doctoral thesis show that the vNRS-11 does provide valid pain intensity reports when used in children and adolescents.
