These include pain, fear, sleep deprivation, nightmares, inability to speak, and feelings of isolation and loneliness. Among these negative experiences, pain has emerged as a leading stressor for intensive care units patients. </span> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman""> The patient self report is the most reliable source of pain assesment, intensive care unit  patients are unable to self report because of intubation and sedation. For this reason, there must be scales which include verbal and non-verbal parameters, behavioral responses to pain in intensive care units.
