“…Similar findings regarding required competencies for pain assessment were found in previous studies that aimed to address pain management education in the prelicensing education of healthcare professionals. [11,25,27] In the current study, evaluating vital signs was cited as a means to assess pain in children, which concurred with the findings from another study. [28] Controversy appears with researchers who found that vital signs may not be reliable indicators for accurate pain assessment in children, [29,30] as physiological changes may occur due to clinical condition that the child presents and not necessarily because of pain.…”

Competency for pediatric pain management is fundamental for nurses’ responsibility in caring for pediatric patients with pain. However, effective nursing management of pain in hospitalized children continues to be a challenge more often linked to competency deficit as a consequence of unpreparedness in the pre-licensing education. Previous studies have established that nursing students exhibited lack of knowledge and poor attitudes regarding pediatric pain management, but none of the studies were done in the Rwandan context. The current study explores the pediatric pain management competencies taught to nursing students in Rwanda. An exploratory descriptive qualitative design based on face-to-face individual interviews and focus group discussions was utilized. Fourteen nurse educators and preceptors and nineteen nursing students were recruited from five study settings to explore their perspectives about pediatric pain management competencies taught to nursing students. Participants’ narratives were analysed using thematic analysis from which six main themes emerged. Participants narrated that competencies related to children pain assessment, pain medication and non-drug pain management interventions were taught to students. However, findings also revealed the challenges that impacted the teaching and learning of paediatric pain management, which need to be addressed for the improvement of pre-service training about pain management in children. The findings from the study suggested further research for a better understanding of the nature of those challenges to inform tailored strategies aimed at improving quality health care provision to children through an improved pediatric pain management education at the undergraduate level.

“…Providing education on the same content to all healthcare professionals at the same time puts the knowledge level on an equal footing. Thus, healthcare professionals share the same educational experience (53,54). Through NEODOL, all healthcare professionals had the same goal regarding procedures, namely, to improve pain management.…”

“…There are several expressions for pain education as a specific intervention, including “pain neuroscience education”, “therapeutic neuroscience education”, and “Explaining Pain” [ 32 ]. Unfortunately, and despite improvements in the last years, resources for pain education for health care professionals across all disciplines are still limited [ 69 ].…”

Chronic pain in children and adolescents is a common and debilitating health problem. This narrative review will give a brief overview on what pediatric chronic pain is and what treatment options there are for children and adolescents. The specific emphasis will be on pediatric chronic pain education and communication: this narrative review aims to show how important a good patient–health care provider relationship is—it builds the foundation for successful communication—and how this relationship can be established. In addition, we will present five steps that health care providers can perform to explain pediatric chronic pain to patients and their parents and what to keep in mind in their clinical routine. Our review is intended for pediatricians and other health care providers who treat pediatric patients with chronic pain but might feel uncertain on how to best communicate with them.
