Background

Pain is a common symptom among many patients and a key aspect in nursing activities in both the hospital and outpatient care. Pain has many forms and effects, making pain management challenging for medical teams.

The application of pain management processes by nursing staff has been proven to help and contribute to pain relief and the well-being of patients.
In this course, we will study relevant and current topics in the field and analyze different cases to provide nurses with clinical tools for assessing and managing pain.

Main Objectives

To enhance the theoretical as well as clinical knowledge and skills of nurses concerning pain management and pain relief among patients of all ages and in all clinical fields.
