  • Assessment of Emotional Functioning in Pain Treatment Outcome Research
    Assessment of emotional functioning in pain treatment outcome research Robert D. Kerns, Ph.D. VA Connecticut Healthcare System Yale University Running head: Emotional functioning Correspondence: Robert D. Kerns, Ph.D., Psychology Service (116B), VA Connecticut Healthcare System, 950 Campbell Avenue, West Haven, CT 06516; Phone: 203-937- 3841; Fax: 203-937-4951; Electronic mail: [email protected] Emotional Functioning 2 Assessment of Emotional Functioning in Pain Treatment Outcome Research The measurement of emotional functioning as an important outcome in empirical examinations of pain treatment efficacy and effectiveness has not yet been generally adopted in the field. This observation is puzzling given the large and ever expanding empirical literature on the relationship between the experience of pain and negative mood, symptoms of affective distress, and frank psychiatric disorder. For example, Turk (1996), despite noting the high prevalence of psychiatric disorder, particularly depression, among patients referred to multidisciplinary pain clinics, failed to list the assessment of mood or symptoms of affective distress as one of the commonly cited criteria for evaluating pain outcomes from these programs. In a more recent review, Turk (2002) also failed to identify emotional distress as a key index of clinical effectiveness of chronic pain treatment. A casual review of the published outcome research in the past several years fails to identify the inclusion of measures of emotional distress in most studies of pain treatment outcome, other than those designed to evaluate the efficacy of psychological interventions. In a recent edited volume, The Handbook of Pain Assessment (Turk & Melzack, 2001), several contributors specifically encouraged inclusion of measures of psychological distress in the assessment of pain treatment effects (Bradley & McKendree-Smith, 2001; Dworkin, Nagasako, Hetzel, & Farrar, 2001; Okifuji & Turk, 2001).

The assessment and measurement of pain is fundamental to the process of assisting in the diagnosis of the cause of a patient’s pain, selecting an appropriate analgesic therapy and evaluating then modifying that therapy according to the individual patient’s response. Pain should be assessed within a sociopsychobiomedical model that recognises that physiological, psychological and environmental factors influence the overall pain experience. Likewise, the decision regarding the appropriate intervention following assessment needs to be made with regard to a number of factors, including recent therapy, potential risks and side effects, any management plan for the particular patient and the patient’s own preferences. A given pain ‘rating’ should not automatically trigger a specific intervention without such considerations being undertaken (van Dijk 2012a Level IV, n=2,674; van Dijk 2012b Level IV, n=10,434). Care must be undertaken with pain assessment to avoid the process of assessment itself acting as a nocebo (see Section 1.3). 2.1 | Assessment The assessment of acute pain should include a thorough general medical history and physical examination, a specific “pain history” (see Table 2.1) and an evaluation of associated functional impairment (see Section 2.3).

  • Practical Pain Management
    PRACTICAL PAIN MANAGEMENT To start with… This is based upon various sources of information in the publications below and the way they have helped me to approach this subject. So for more information consult the following: Oxford Handbook of Palliative Care 2nd Ed: M Watson et al: Oxford University Press publications Symptom Management in Advanced Cancer 4th Ed: R Tywcross et al: PalliativeDrugs.com publications Palliative Care Formulary 4th Ed: R Twycross et al: PalliativeDrugs.com publications Drugs in Palliative Care 2nd: Andrew Dickman: Oxford University Press publications INTRODUCTION “Think Holistically” (see Figs 1-4) Remember - two important principles of palliative care are that all care should be: o PATIENT-CENTRED – putting patients & their significant others at the centre of healthcare o HOLISTIC – a healthcare approach where considering all aspects relevant to a person’s care [ie making up ‘the whole’ person] is more beneficial to the person than just focusing one of the aspects [eg. those most familiar to a healthcare worker of a particular discipline – ie doctors can focus on physical aspects alone] NB: This approach is not unique to palliative care and is seen in other disciplines eg. general practice Palliative care is holistic in the broadest extent: o The Patient: holistic by considering the physical, psychological, spiritual & social aspects relevant to the person (fig.1) which also means considering ‘The Triangle of Significant Others’ – family, carers & significant others (fig.2) o The Team: holistic in palliative care because of the fully multidisciplinary team approach It may be helpful to understand the extent of this holistic assessment by considering the following diagrams: o Fig.

  • Assessing a Child's Pain
    1.5 HOURS CE Continuing Education Assessing a Child’s Pain A review of tools to help evaluate pain in children of all ages and levels of cognitive development. ABSTRACT: Effective pain assessment is a necessary component of successful pain management and the pursuit of optimal health outcomes for patients of all ages. In the case of children, accurate pain assessment is particularly important, because children exposed to prolonged or repeated acute pain, including proce- dural pain, are at elevated risk for such adverse outcomes as subsequent medical traumatic stress, more in- tense response to subsequent pain, and development of chronic pain. As with adults, a child’s self-report of pain is considered the most accurate and reliable measure of pain. But the assessment of pain in children is challenging, because presentation is influenced by developmental factors, and children’s responses to certain features of pain assessment tools are unlike those commonly observed in adults. The authors describe the three types of assessment used to measure pain intensity in children and the tools developed to address the unique needs of children that employ each. Such tools take into account the child’s age as well as special circumstances or conditions, such as ventilation requirements, cognitive impair- ment, and developmental delay. The authors also discuss the importance of proxy pain reporting by the par- ent or caregiver and how nurses can improve communication between the child, caregiver, and health care providers, thereby promoting favorable patient outcomes. Keywords: assessment tools, children, pain assessment, pain measurement, pediatric pain ain is a common symptom seen in patients of in children who undergo “posttraumatic growth” all ages and in all health care settings.
