Abstract:
Fighting pain is one of nurses' duties. At Dreux general hospital, the medical and nursing staff of the physical medicine and rehabilitation department has gradually put in place since 2004 an information and treatment logbook. It constitutes a way of recording and assessing each patient's pain and consequently facilitates its treatment.
