“…Also, Van Hecke et al. [ 20 ] found an association between higher pain intensity and inadequate HL. It is also known that knowledge translation (KT) can help to reduce the burden of persistent pain [ 21 ].…”

SummaryBackgroundChronic pain poses a large burden for the healthcare system and the individuals concerned. The impact of health literacy (HL) on health status and health outcomes is receiving more and more attention. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of HL with chronic pain intensity and pain perception.MethodsA total of 121 outpatients suffering from chronic pain (pain duration >3 months) were evaluated. The HL was measured using the health literacy screening questions. Pain intensity was measured with a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and pain perception with the short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ).ResultsIndividuals with low HL had significantly higher VAS values (Pearson correlation coefficient= −0.270, p = 0.003). Stepwise regression analysis showed that HL has a significant association with pain intensity (odds ratio [OR] = 2.31; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.11–4.83), even after controlling for age and sex (OR = 2.27; 95% CI 1.07–4.82), but no longer after controlling for education (OR = 2.10; 95% CI 0.95–4.64).ConclusionIndividuals with a higher HL showed less pain intensity, which seems to be caused by a better pain management; therefore, supporting the development of HL in patients with chronic pain could be seen as an important objective of integrated care.

Using data from the 2010 Indiana, USA public high school graduating class (N=55612), this project employed a multi-level analysis to determine, what if any differences occurred in majoring in science, technology, engineering, and math and freshman to sophomore year persistence, between students attending a school that offers Project Lead the Way and students that don't, while controlling for being a PLTW student. Results imply that PLTW had a statistically significant impact on the students participating in the program excluding students who were eligible for free and reduced lunch. However, this impact does not appear to carry over to the rest of the student body that does not participate in PLTW.

“…It is multifactorial and no two patients with similar treatment procedures experience same pain, hence, nurses need to be alert to this possibility. Pain can be considered as the fifth vital sign and protocols, team work, and regular pain evaluations are needed to reinforce postoperative pain management [ 6 - 9 ]. There are many barriers that influence the delivery of effective pain management these might be healthcare professional-related, system-related, or patient-related [ 4 ].…”

AbstractIt is currently estimated that the lack of adequate pain management affects 80% of the global population and the phenomenon poses a serious problem in more than 150 countries. On a national level, the greatest burden of inadequate treatment is borne, among others, by elderly patients. The purpose of the paper was to compare the prevalence of barriers to optimum post-operative pain management in elderly patients, observed by nurses in a clinical, provincial and municipal hospital in Poland. The research project was a multi-center one and took over a year. The study was questionnaire-based. It used the Polish version of the Nurses’ Perceived Obstacles to Pain Assessment and Management Practices questionnaire. The study included a total of 1602 nurses working at a clinical, provincial and municipal hospital.In the university hospital, difficulties in pain assessment related to the healthcare system occurred statistically significantly more often.
