“…In contrast to our study, other pain CE studies which measured patient outcomes (Degner et al, 1982;Foglesong, 1983;Foglesong et al, 1987;Sofaer, 1984), did not include a control condition. However, limited insight is provided into the extent to which changes can be attributed to a CE programme without a control condition.…”

“…Previous studies on the impact of pain CE programmes on patients (Degner et al, 1982;Foglesong, 1983;Foglesong et al, 1987;Sofaer, 1984) did not determine the number of sleepless hours as a result of pain, state anxiety, mood disturbances or duration of hospitalization, impeding comparisons with the study presented. Sofaer (1984) did, however, determine patients' pain intensity and duration.…”

“…However, of the studies on pain CE programmes for nurses (for an overview, see Francke et al, 1996a), only four have examined whether patients are also affected by the CE programme (Degner, et al, 1982;Foglesong, 1983;Foglesong et al, 1987;Sofaer, 1984). In the Foglesong (1983) and Foglesong et al (1987) studies it was concluded that surgical patients admitted after the programme had less pain complaints.…”

“…Sofaer (1984) found that surgical patients admitted after nurses participated in CE on pain had lower pain intensity and fewer hours of pain on postoperative days 0 and 1. Degner et al (1982) established after a pain CE programme for nurses, that oncological patients had more pain-free periods, probably as a result of changes in nurses' pharmacological pain management.…”

“…There was no mention of non-pharmacologic interventions. Seventy-three per cent of patients continued to have moderate to severe pain after analgesics were prescribed in one study cited (Degner et al 1982). Rankin (1982) conducted a descriptive study of 40 cancer patients over a 2-week hopsital period (Payne et al 1984).…”

Non‐pharmacologic management of pain in the person with cancer

Management of pain in the person with cancer is a high priority in nursing. Although the actual incidence and severity is not well documented, pain may be experienced at some point by the majority of persons with cancer. Pharmacologic management, by itself, is often not adequate. Nurses must become familiar with non-pharmacologic interventions, to be used alone or in combination with analgesics, for the successful management of cancer pain. This paper discusses various non-pharmacologic options and includes a nursing protocol. More research is warranted to better define those most likely to benefit from these interventions.

Post‐operative pain management: a literature review

The appropriateness of any set of criteria generated to measure the quality of a particular intervention is dependent upon a thorough, up-to-date assessment of the current state-of-the-art. Few areas in nursing have received as much research attention as that of pain control, particularly post-operative pain control. The following review of the literature* on this subject complements earlier reviews undertaken by Seers (1988) by organizing the information according to four distinct categories, namely environmental issues, nursing actions, patient outcomes and a review of a number of pain measures. This particular format was selected in order to help in the development of structure, process and outcome criteria on the topic of post-operative pain management. The section on measurement is to inform practitioners about pain-assessment charts and provide ideas about auditing this area.
