Cultural Competence for Today's Healthcare Professionals, Part 3: The Cultural Factor in Pain Management

$20.00

i 1.00 Hours

Course Overview

Individual social, spiritual and physiological factors seem to influence the experience of pain. People experience pain differently even within the same cultural group by having more or less of a modulating substance, such as endorphins, within their physiological system. This could explain why the response to pain differs not only among people from different backgrounds but among those from the same ethnic group. There is also evidence that primary care providers underestimate pain severity in their minority patients. This continuing education module helps healthcare professionals become familiar with cultural differences associated with pain perceptions and pain management.

Become more acutely aware of your own cultural programming

Be aware of how personal stereotypes surrounding patients’ ethnicity or education can influence your evaluation of the degree to which patients are suffering stress or pain

Don’t label patients who demonstrate what you interpret as an exaggerated response to pain as “complainers.

If patients have illnesses or conditions that are normally accompanied by sufficient pain to require medication, don’t simply ask patients if they would like some medical relief

Remember that clinicians commonly under-evaluate pain

Healthcare professionals need to question patients about the presence of pain, as well as encourage them to share their attitudes about pain management and their beliefs about the use of analgesics.
