[Pain within the healthcare team, a source of dyscommunication]
1Amae conseil, 13 rue Vaudetard, 92130 Issy-les-Moulineaux, France.
Abstract:
The subjective nature and complexity of the pain phenomenon make it a difficult symptom to take into consideration, regardless of where the patient is being cared for, leading to multiple sources of dyscommunication between professionals. Despite the undeniable progress that has been made, this recurring theme has received little attention in the professional literature. It is therefore worthwhile analyzing the causes of these relational problems and proposing avenues of reflection and work that could help remedy them.
