This phenomenological study describes the lived experience of pain
inflicted in the context of medically prescribed treatment, and it
explores the meanings of such pain for patients who endured it and
for nurses whose actions contributed to its generation. Thus, it
presents a thematic description of the phenomenon of clinically
inflicted pain. The dangers for both patients and nurses when
clinically inflicted pain is ignored, overlooked, or treated with
detachment are presented. The study also points the way toward
nursing practice that is guided by thoughtfulness and sensitivity
to patients1 lived experience and an awareness of the freedom and
responsibility inherent in nursing actions, including those
involved in inflicting and relieving pain. Questions are raised
about nurses1 knowledge, attitudes, and actions in relation to
clinically inflicted pain. The study highlights the need for
nursing education and practice to consider the contribution of a
phenomenological perspective to the understanding of the human
experience of pain and the nursing role in its generation,
prevention, and relief.
