Pain in older adults with dementia : A survey across Europe on current practices, use of assessment tools, guidelines and policies.

CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that pain education is required across all countries surveyed. This should include a focus on guidelines and standards for assessment and subsequent management of pain. Findings suggest that clinical staff find interpreting facial expressions in relation to pain more difficult. PMID: 29931391 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
