Pain Management

Introduction

Nothing affects the quality of life more than pain. Through targeted pain management can remain many people spared pain. If the findings of modern pain management are implemented consistently, both acute and chronic pain can be alleviated or prevented (Schmidt & Brown, 2011). In fact, a systematic treatment of pain pain-related complications can be reduced, which accelerates healing process and ultimately reduce costs as well. Similarly, the role of nurse cannot be avoided as the nurses maintain close contact with patients and have a key role to play in pain management (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2010). Their mission is to recognize on-passing pain early to assess and coordinate, in cooperation with other professional groups such measures or conduct. This paper aims to discuss the issue of pain management in the context of evidence based nursing.

Discussion

Evidence-based Nursing

The evidence based practice can be seen in its origins as the effect of the movement of Evidence Based Medicine (EBM), led by Archie Cochrane and David Sackett. In fact, for nurses, this approach may be suitable in clinical decision making, bringing together the best evidence common, experts of clinical nurses and patient preference (Schmidt & Brown, 2011). That is, patients or their families are included and may contribute to decisions about their care, for example, patients with long-term health or chronic, such as diabetes, schizophrenia, or rheumatoid arthritis, among others.

Barrier

History shows that when you want to make changes to a particular form of work will always be problems that impede its implementation, both institutional resistances as in people who are involved. It's no different with this new paradigm of evidence based practice because it is removing everything that had so internalized about their profession (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2010). In the study conducted in the United States, the most significant barriers for not using ...
