The Epidemiology of Pain

P. J. Jennings, BSN, RN

Inadequate pain relief is a global concern for patients and practitioners. Many barriers still exist within the health care system to properly assess and treat pain. This article identifies the need to properly assess pain and develop a treatment plan that includes a discussion with the patient. Pain is not always cured and requires medical management the same as any other disease process.

Key Words: pain assessment • barriers • types of pain • palliative care
