• Wong-Baker Facial Expression Evaluation Scale (WB-FAI)

  The scale was developed in 1981 and was revised in 1983. The scale is used to define pain in the 3-18 age group. The scale indicates that the severity of pain increases from zero to five as you go from left to right. Facial expressions are included under the numbers to describe the severity of pain. It consists of 6 faces in total. While the first smiling facial expression expresses the pain-free state, the crying facial expression at the end indicates the most severe pain intensity. While applying the scale, the child is told to choose the facial expression that best describes his feelings at the moment. 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.
