Pain Control

Paper Summary:

This paper critically analyzes pain as a clinical-related practical concern and explores possible approaches to this concern utilizing three popular conceptual models of nursing: (a) Neuman?s System Model; (b) The Roy Adaptation Model; and (c) Orem?s Self-Care Framework. Each model is gauged in terms of its worthiness for possible application toward the nursing concept, pain. In order to achieve this end, the JCAPHO Pain Management Standards (a standard for quality pain management) will be used to test each conceptual model.

From the Paper:

"Pain is a global-wide enigma that surpasses all social, socio-economic and cultural lines. Poorly treated pain is a huge concern for millions of Americans and people of other nationalities as well. Pain is an unpleasant sensitivity and emotional response to that sensitivity. The Nuprin Pain Report found that 4 billion work days are lost each year as a direct result of pain related issues resulting in huge financial losses to the economy--an estimated $79 billion per year. Thereby, consequences of the failure to adequately treat patients who suffer from pain by health care providers are measureless and constitutes the biggest problems nurse practitioners face today (R. Sternbach, 1986)"
