Here is a useful compendium of information that expands the options
available in the treatment of pain in chronically and terminally
ill patients. Noninvasive Approaches to Pain Management in the
Terminally Ill presents a multidimensional perspective on pain
which includes the psychological, psychosocial, and behavioral
aspects of pain as well as physical factors. Full of practical and
useful information, this important book teaches nurses, physicians,
physical therapists, psychologists, and hospice workers how to help
their patients cope with pain more effectively. A variety of
methods of pain assessment and control are discussed, increasing
the range of practical techniques available to caregivers working
to improve patient comfort. The therapeutic modalities explained,
including relaxation, hypnosis, coping skills training, massage,
and mobilization, can be used as adjuncts to more traditional
medical and pharmacological interventions. Treatment modalities are
discussed in detail, enabling their immediate use in day-to-day
practice or in consultation with patients and families when
referral is necessary. Noninvasive Approaches to Pain Management in
the Terminally Ill includes methods for all levels of expertise.
Many of the strategies described can easily be taught and used by
health care providers who have not received extensive training in
this field. Some strategies can readily be used by patients and
their families, while others require consultation with trained
mental health professionals. Important topics addressed include
assessment of psychological factors that contribute to the
experience of pain, family involvement in pain control, the impact
of pain in terminal patients on their families, methods to reduce
stress, a nontechnical discussion of hypnosis and related
techniques, the importance of patient education, and strategies to
involve patients in their own care. Hospital and hospice staff,
families of chronically and terminally ill patients, and the
patients themselves can all benefit from the information in this
vital book.
