Pain Assessment and Management, 2nd Edition
Audience This course is designed for social workers, counselors, and marriage and family therapists in all practice settings. Course Objective Although healthcare practitioners frequently work with clients who are experiencing pain, there is evidence that supports an interdisciplinary biopsychosocial approach when treating clients with chronic pain. Practitioners with a more detailed knowledge of pain can be more effective when working with a variety of clients, groups, and populations. The purpose of this basic course is to elaborate on the definition of pain and its perception, factors hampering pain management, assessment of a client for pain, and interventions to improve function in clients with pain. Learning Objectives Upon completion of this course, you should be able to: 1. Define the physiology and perception of pain. 2. Identify appropriate measures to assess pain. 3. Identify difficult-to-diagnose pain conditions. 4. Summarize the different mechanisms of pain relief, including considerations across the life span and pain management barriers. 5. Define the interprofessional team approach to treating pain. 6. Identify preparatory, purposeful, and occupation- based interventions used with clients with pain. 7. Examine the role of mind/body techniques in manag- ing pain. Faculty Kimberly A.
