Nursing Interventions in Chronic Pain Management

Abstract

This paper explores the impact of nursing interventions on pain management outcomes. The study highlights the crucial role of nurses in improving pain control and reducing pain intensity for patients. Through comprehensive pain assessments, medication administration, and implementation of non-pharmacological interventions, nurses contribute to enhanced quality of life and functional ability. Patient satisfaction and adherence to treatment plans are positively influenced by nursing interventions, as nurses prioritize patient education and involve patients in decision-making. The implications for nursing practice include individualized care, interdisciplinary collaboration, and advocacy for adequate resources. Future research should focus on investigating the effectiveness of specific nursing interventions and identifying barriers and facilitators to effective pain management.
