Analgesia and Pain Management

636
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...

Sometimes, when patients are asked about their symptoms, they may go off-topic and try to tell their entire life story. Respectfully, the nurse should bring the conversation back into focus.
This therapeutic technique can also be used when a patient brings up pertinent information during a health-related conversation. The...

Sending and receiving messages occur through verbal and nonverbal communication techniques and can happen separately or simultaneously.
Verbal communication depends on language or a prescribed way of using words so that people can share information effectively. The critical aspects of verbal...

Area of Science:

  • Health Technology
  • Behavioral Science
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Chronic pain affects 20% of US adults, necessitating non-addictive management strategies.
  • Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) shows promise but faces challenges in long-term adherence.
  • The opioid crisis intensifies the need for accessible, non-addictive pain relief methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the utility of a voice interface for supporting MBSR home practice.
  • To assess the acceptability and identify usability issues of a voice interface prototype among MBSR facilitators.

Main Methods:

  • Interviews with 10 mindfulness program facilitators.
  • Directed content analysis of interview data to identify key themes.

Main Results:

  • Facilitators endorsed voice interface use for MBSR, particularly for individuals with motor impairments.
  • Perceived social presence via voice interfaces may enhance sustained engagement in MBSR practices.

Conclusions:

  • A voice interface is acceptable to mindfulness facilitators for supporting MBSR home practice.
  • Design recommendations are provided for voice technologies aimed at longitudinal support of mindfulness interventions.
  • This work contributes to making non-addictive pain management more accessible and effective.
