American Society for Pain Management Nursing and Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association Position Statement: Pain Management at the End of Life
Fundamental to the quality of life is assisting patients in relieving pain including at the end of life. Compassionate, effective, evidence-based pain care for the dying improves the quality of life for patients and may reduce distress and complicated bereavement in the loved ones witnessing this death. However, efforts designed to mitigate the consequences of the opioid epidemic have seriously compromised pain care at the end of life. This has created an urgent need to focus on the barriers to relief, and solutions necessary to provide safe and effective pain and symptom management in this population.

Feasibility of In-Home Virtual Reality for Chronic Pain in Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle cell disease (SCD), the most commonly inherited group of red blood cell disorders in the United States (National Human Genome Research Institute, 2020), affects more than 100,000 people (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022). This pain condition causes a significant burden to individuals, families, and the healthcare infrastructure, with medical costs totaling approximately $2.98 billion annually (Huo et al., 2018). Chronic pain in SCD is ongoing pain that was present, in one or more locations, on most days for more than 6 months (Dampier et al., 2017). (Source: Pain Management Nursing)

ASPMN Position Statement: Authorized Agent Controlled Analgesia
The American Society for Pain Management Nursing (ASPMN) has reviewed and updated its position statement on the use of authorized agent controlled analgesia (AACA) for patients who are unable to independently utilize a self-dosing analgesic infusion pump, commonly known as patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). ASPMN continues to support the use of AACA to provide timely and effective pain management while promoting equitable care for vulnerable patient populations who are unable to use PCA. ASPMN does not support the use of “PCA by Proxy” in which unauthorized individuals activate PCA for a patient. (Source: Pain Management Nursing)

Implementing an Evidence-Based Functional Pain Assessment Scale in an Adult Inpatient Unit
The focus on pain assessment using a single, one-dimension pain assessment scale can be problematic. Locally, challenges we faced with this were; a) pain was percieved as not being effectively managed, b) patients with chronic pain were not having their pain adequately controlled, and c) misconceptions and subsequent confusion between health care teams and patients related to what pain intensity scores mean to each individual.

Effectiveness of a Teach-Back Education Program on Perioperative Pain in Patients With Lung Cancer: An Intervention Study Using Behavior Change Wheel
Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide (Montagne et al., 2021). Thoracoscopic lobectomy is currently the main treatment for lung cancer, with the advantages of less trauma, shorter incisions, better outcomes, and faster recovery (Nakazawa et al., 2018). However, thoracoscopy is still an invasive operation, and patients may also experience significant pain after surgery. Notably, patients are probably still in moderate to severe pain for one third of the time in the first 24 hours after thoracoscopy (Siu et al., 2019). (Source: Pain Management Nursing)
