IMPORTANCE OF PAIN ASSESSMENT: SPECIFICITY OF HEALTHCARE
Abstract
Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience, which we associate with existing or possible tissue damage or describe with words that correspond to that damage. The aim of this work was to point out the importance of pain assessment and show the ways of pain assessment in the general population with reference to the duty of the nurse in pain assessment and control. In their daily work, nurses use standardized scales to assess pain in a simple way, and today there are many different scales and questionnaires in use that differ in relation to the age of the patient, his psycho-physical condition and other characteristics. . The most commonly applied pain assessment scales can be: unidimensional, multidimensional and combined. By applying the process of health care, as the basic method of work, the nurse can adequately care for the patient with pain.
