Yoğun Bakım Hemşireliğinde Ağrı Değerlendirmesi ve Ağrı Yönetimi / Pain Assessment in Intensive Care Nursing and Pain Management

Abstract

Evidence suggests that patients with communication inability problems for various reasons, such as intubation and sedation, cause unpleasant, stress and bad experiences during their time in intensive care unit. Pain, loneliness, isolation, communication inability, sleep disturbance, fear and nightmares can be counted. Among these negative experiences, pain is encountering intensive care patients as an important "stressor". The most reliable source of pain assessment is the patient itself. However, intensive care patients who cannot express their pain verbally due to intubation and sedation express their pain with various behavioral and physiological indications. For this reason, it is important to use special diagnostic tools that assess behavioral and behavioralphysiological responses to pain in intensive care. Intensive care nurses play a key role in the evaluation and management of pain because they are health care professionals who spend most of their time with patients and closely monitor them because they are maintenance-based team members.
