This book was released on 2009 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The knowledge base and attitudes of nurses has been shown to impact the treatment of pain. The theoretical framework was Kolcaba's theory of comfort. A pretest-posttest descriptive study determined the changes in the knowledge base and attitudes of nurses toward pain management after participating in an active learning educational orientation program. Newly hired registered nurses from a large, Midwestern pediatric hospital were tested during their orientation program using Manworren's Pediatric Nurses' Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain. The post test results were compared to scores from a cohort having previously participated in a didactic teaching module. Fifty-three subjects participated in the study. Comparing the active learning pre- and post-test scores, no significant difference was found (p=0.385). Also, no significant difference was found between the didactic post-test scores and the active learning post-test scores (p=0.399).

Sutherland and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Chronic pain significantly impacts individuals physically, emotionally, and financially. The management of chronic pain is a complex, multi-faceted issue that includes the risk of opioid addiction and often requires a multi-disciplinary approach. Despite the numerous available treatment options, the number of patients requiring pain medications has continuously increased along with doubling overdose cases. Lack of knowledge and confidence of providers to manage chronic pain effectively and safely have been identified as barriers to poor patient outcomes in this population. Appraisal of the curriculum for healthcare providers, including family nurse practitioners (FNP), identified gaps in pain management content, including addressing various modalities to support successful pain management and appropriate risk mitigation strategies for safe prescribing practices. Purposes/Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group pre-test/post-test study was conducted to evaluate the effects of a 4-hour didactic and hands-on educational session on FNP students’ knowledge and attitude regarding chronic pain management. The effects of the educational session were measured using a modified Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain (KASRP) at both pre- and post-intervention. A paired, two-tailed t-test evaluated the effect of the educational session with a p-value

Book excerpt: " Pain is a primary symptom for which people seek health care. Ineffective pain management influences patient recovery and impacts the healthcare organization due to increased readmissions, prolonged hospital stays, and poor clinical outcomes. The focus of this evidence-based practice (EBP) change project was to increase nurses' knowledge and/or attitudes related to pain assessment, management, and documentation through a pain management education program in a 198-bed skilled nursing facility (SNF) in central Pennsylvania. The Advancing Research and Clinical Practice Through Close Collaboration model and Dr. Katharine Kolcaba's Comfort Theory supported the project and content delivery. The total number of participants was twenty (8 registered nurses and 12 licensed practical nurses). The EBP change project occurred over eleven weeks (three weeks of recruitment, six weeks of classroom education, and two weeks of observation). Three outcomes were measured for this EBP project: 1) increase in the nurses' knowledge and attitudes about pain, 2) reduction in patients' pain levels, and 3) improvement in nurses' documentation in the electronic medication administration record. The results supported the effectiveness of an educational strategy to increase nurses' knowledge of and attitudes toward pain assessment, management, and documentation. Keywords: Nurses' pain education, pain assessment, pain management, patients' pain scores, pain scale, pain documentation, and skilled nursing facility. " -- Abstract

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acute pain management continues to be an ongoing challenge faced by healthcare professionals in the acute setting. The incidence of pain has remains high with an estimated 75% of patients reporting moderate to severe pain in the acute setting, this has remained unchanged since the 1950's. Throughout the literature it is felt that this is largely due to a lack of knowledge and misconceptions regarding assessment and management of pain by all healthcare professionals. A modified version of McCafferty & Ferrell Knowledge and Attitudes survey was used to evaluate nursing staff current level of knowledge and attitudes towards pain assessment and management. A baseline audit was performed and following the results a bespoke education plan was delivered to registered nurses across the District General Hospital. The survey was then repeated to evaluate the impact of the educational interventions. 58 surveys were completed in the base line audit and a further 65 were completed following educational interventions. The mean knowledge score increased from 73% to 76% following educational interventions, individual question analysis also reviled a significant improvement across questions relating to pharmacology, pain assessment and belief in patient's report of pain improved. This audit has allowed for the identification of knowledge gaps and following educational intervention it was possible to change and challenge long held misconceptions regarding pain assessment and management. Even though there was a small improvement in mean knowledge score there was a significant improved seen in individual question analysis.

The stories are drawn from a wealth of original research, and focus the reader on the individual child and their family. The chapter then goes on to introduce the relevant research, theory and implications for practice, so health professionals can use the evidence to support compassionate, child-centred care. Among the topics addressed are: - Ethical dilemmas - Assessing pain - Working in different settings - Inexplicable pain It is valuable reading for any healthcare student or professional working with children of all ages.
Download or read book Relieving Pain in America written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-10-26 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic pain costs the nation up to $635 billion each year in medical treatment and lost productivity. The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act required the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to enlist the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in examining pain as a public health problem. In this report, the IOM offers a blueprint for action in transforming prevention, care, education, and research, with the goal of providing relief for people with pain in America. To reach the vast multitude of people with various types of pain, the nation must adopt a population-level prevention and management strategy. The IOM recommends that HHS develop a comprehensive plan with specific goals, actions, and timeframes. Better data are needed to help shape efforts, especially on the groups of people currently underdiagnosed and undertreated, and the IOM encourages federal and state agencies and private organizations to accelerate the collection of data on pain incidence, prevalence, and treatments. Because pain varies from patient to patient, healthcare providers should increasingly aim at tailoring pain care to each person's experience, and self-management of pain should be promoted. In addition, because there are major gaps in knowledge about pain across health care and society alike, the IOM recommends that federal agencies and other stakeholders redesign education programs to bridge these gaps. Pain is a major driver for visits to physicians, a major reason for taking medications, a major cause of disability, and a key factor in quality of life and productivity. Given the burden of pain in human lives, dollars, and social consequences, relieving pain should be a national priority.

Download or read book Pediatric Pain Management written by Lynnda M. Dahlquist and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pain is a complex, multidimensional phenomenon, with physiological, behav ioral, emotional, cognitive, and developmental aspects (Zeltzer, Barr, McGrath, & Schechter, 1992). To effectively evaluate and manage pain in children, the clini cian must be able to assess the unique ways these complex dimensions interact for the individual child and integrate these dimensions into a treatment plan. This can be a daunting task. The purpose of this book is to provide a framework for conceptualizing pain problems in children that can guide the practitioner in developing an evaluation and treatment plan that is optimal for the individual child. This book is not in tended to be a comprehensive, exhaustive review of the literature on pain manage ment in children. There are several excellent books of this nature (e.g., Bush & Harkins, 1991: McGrath, 1990; Ross & Ross, 1988). Instead, this book is an at tempt to outline an hypothesis testing process of case conceptualizing and treat ment planning that can help structure the task of sorting through the complex interrelationships that determine children's pain.

This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.
