Analgesia and Pain Management

1.3K
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

617
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Heart Failure VII: Nursing Interventions

306
The first step in nursing management of a patient with heart failure involves thoroughly assessing the patient's medical history.Subjective Data: Obtain the patient's medical history of coronary artery disease, hypertension, myocardial infarction, and symptoms like dyspnea, orthopnea, and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea.Objective Data: Conduct a physical examination to identify findings such as jugular vein distention, pulmonary crackles, tachycardia, murmurs, peripheral edema, and vital signs,...

Angina V: Nursing Management

199
Angina, a symptom of myocardial ischemia, requires a structured nursing management approach to ensure effective care and prevent complications like myocardial infarction. Comprehensive nursing care involves assessing, diagnosing, planning, implementing interventions, and evaluating outcomes, all tailored to the individual patient's needs.Patient AssessmentNursing assessment begins with a detailed subjective evaluation of symptoms, which typically include chest pain or pressure radiating to the...

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Health Informatics
    • Pain Management

    Background:

    • Chronic pain significantly impacts aging adults, affecting their quality of life and independence.
    • Technology offers potential solutions for pain self-management, supporting older adults in their homes.
    • Voice assistants present a novel approach to aid in managing daily health tasks for the elderly.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the usability and effectiveness of voice assistant reminders for pain self-management tasks in community-dwelling older adults.
    • To assess the perceived consistency, ease of setup, and helpfulness of voice assistant reminders for pain management.
    • To evaluate the potential of voice assistants in encouraging adherence to pain self-management behaviors.

    Main Methods:

    • A usability study involving 15 community-dwelling older adults (average age 65) with chronic pain.
    • Participants used a voice assistant for pain self-management task reminders over a 4-week period.
    • Data collected included usability scores, setup time, help requests, and qualitative feedback on reminder perception.

    Main Results:

    • Voice assistant usability was rated above average (78/100).
    • Setup was quick (median 5 minutes), with minimal assistance needed (median 2 help requests).
    • Participants found reminders consistent, easy to set up, and helpful for accountability in pain self-management.

    Conclusions:

    • Voice assistant reminders are a usable and potentially effective tool for supporting pain self-management in aging adults.
    • This technology can enhance independence and accountability for older adults managing chronic pain.
    • Voice assistants may encourage engagement in various pain self-management tasks, offering a valuable option for this demographic.
