THE INTERSECTION OF PAIN AND CULTURE COURSE FIVE | 5 CREDIT HOURS SATISFIES THE CULTURAL COMPETENCY CME REQUIREMENT

Pain is invisible, and diagnosis depends on patients’ reports. These factors contribute to the treatment of pain to be devalued and stigmatized. When issues of culture, race, and ethnicity come into play with pain experiences, it becomes even more complex. Assessing the interaction between how patients construct the meaning and subjective experiences of pain is necessary, rather than simply dealing with only the biomedical causes. Consequently, pain may be universal, but culture influences the creation of meanings, patient experiences, verbal expressions, and coping with pain.
