Nature of Pain
• Pain is subjective.
§ The interpretation and significance of the pain depend
on the individual ’s learned experiences and involve
psychosocial and cultural f actors.
§ Only the person who is bearing the pain is an expert
about that pain.
§ A patient with pain does not always know how to
report the pain to health professionals. The nurse has
a major role in helping the patient by conducting
nursing pain assessments.

Theories of Pain Transmission
• Endorphins
§ The body contains a natural supply of morphine-like
substances called endorphins.
§ Stress and pain activate endorphins.
§ Analgesia results when certain endorphins attach to
opioid receptor sites in the brain and prevent the
release of neurotransmitters, thereby inhibiting the
transmission of pain impulses.

Theories of Pain Transmission
• Endorphins (continued)
§ People who have less pain than others from a similar
injury have higher endorphin levels.
§ Pain relief measures, such as transcutaneous
electrical nerve stimulation, acupuncture, and
placebos, are believed to cause the release of
endorphins.

TJC Requirements for
Pain Control
• Under the new standards of The Joint Commission
(TJC), health care providers are expected to be
knowledgeable about pain assessment and
management, and facilities are expected to develop
policies and procedures supporting the appropriate
use of analgesics and other pain control therapies.

Responsibility of the Nurse in Pain
Control
• Pain management is a challenge that every nurse
must face, regardless of the practice setting.
• The nurse’s role in pain management is probably
more important than that of any other member of the
health care team.
• The nurse should advocate for the patient by
clarifying concerns, answering questions, supplying
all the information the patient needs to make
decisions about care, and supporting the patient’s
decisions.

Guidelines for Individualizing Pain
Therapy
• Use different types of pain relief measures.
• Provide pain relief measures before pain becomes
severe.
• Use measures the patient believes are effective.
• Consider the patient’s ability or willingness to
participate in pain relief measures.
• Choose pain relief measures appropriate for the
severity of the pain as reflected by the patient’s
behavior.
