Pain Assessment in Intensive Care Nursing and Nursing Management

Abstract

Some evidence suggests that nonverbal patients experience stressful, unpleasant, and potentially negative experiences during their time in intensive care units. These include pain, fear, sleep deprivation, nightmares, inability to speak, and feelings of isolation and loneliness. Among these negative experiences, pain has emerged as a leading stressor for intensive care units patients. The patient self report is the most reliable source of pain assesment, intensive care unit  patients are unable to self report because of intubation and sedation. For this reason, there must be scales which include verbal and non-verbal parameters, behavioral responses to pain in intensive care units. Critical care nurses play the most important role in evaluation and relief of pain in intensive care patients since they are the staff who spend time most with the patients and follow them closely.
