持续疼痛影响至少一半的老年人。持续疼痛的负面后果有很多，包括抑郁、焦虑和整体生活质量下降。然而，疼痛常常未被充分认识、报告、评估和治疗不足，并且最佳疼痛实践存在多种障碍。尽管存在最佳疼痛治疗的坚实证据基础，但进展甚微。本文回顾了一项研究，该研究制定并实施了多方面的干预措施，以改善疗养院的疼痛实践，然后探讨了这些研究结果对家庭医疗保健环境的影响。
Persistent pain affects at least half of all older adults. The negative consequences of persistent pain are numerous and include depression, anxiety, and lower overall quality of life. However, pain is often underrecognized, underreported, underassessed, and undertreated, and multiple barriers to optimal pain practices exist. Although a solid evidence base exists for optimal pain practices, little progress has been made. This article reviews a study that developed and implemented a multifaceted intervention to improve pain practices in nursing homes and then examines the implications of those study findings for the home healthcare setting.
