摘要

The “Pain nurse” position paper was created in 2022 by the Society for Pain Management in Healthcare and Nursing (GeSGuK). The aim was to raise awareness of the role of nursing in pain management and core nursing skills, and to highlight the need for interprofessional collaboration. A separate job profile was attached to the position paper because hospitals and long-term care facilities are increasingly creating their own positions for pain nurses. Pain and pain management play an important role in the daily work of professional nursing, particularly because in many settings nurses must increasingly find effective and pain-relieving solutions for patients autonomously, without involvement of physicians. People suffering from pain require intensive nursing care. It is ethically, professionally, and legally unacceptable to allow pain patients to suffer simply because there are no physicians immediately available. However, even if they are available, it is not sufficient to simply dispense pain medication. Multimodal pain therapy is the basis for alleviating symptoms; complementary nursing methods, also known as nursing therapy, are part of this multimodal concept. Many nursing prophylactic measures prevent pain from arising in the first place. Special training for nursing staff ensures that pain patients are treated according to the latest scientific findings.
