BACKGROUND: Aging is known to be associated with a high prevalence (up to 80%) of persistent pain among residents of nursing homes. However, even with high pain prevalence rates, nursing home residents are at risk for undertreatment. Knowledge deficits and beliefs among nurses influence staff behaviour in pain assessment and management.OBJECTIVES: To develop a psychometrically sound questionnaire and to gather information about knowledge and beliefs of nursing staff regarding various aspects of pain in elderly patients with dementia. In addition, the differences among several categories of nurses (based on educational level and work experience) with respect to beliefs about pain were investigated.METHODS: Participants were 123 staff members of psychogeriatric wards in two nursing homes in the Netherlands (mean of 11.4 years of experience). Their results were compared with those of two groups of nurses, one consisting of 25 registered nurse PhD students in nursing science and the other consisting of 20 trainee pain nurse specialists.RESULTS: The main findings indicate that nursing home staff respondents showed knowledge deficits about several aspects of pain, even though they were satisfied about the way pain was assessed and treated at their wards. Specific knowledge deficits were found regarding pain treatment and medication in elderly nursing home residents. Staff educational level seemed to influence their beliefs and knowledge about pain in elderly nursing home patients.

Call To Action

Medication management for seniors is a foundation for keeping them healthy and independent. A vital aspect of medication management is the selective discontinuation of medications, or deprescribing. While this is a common practice within nursing homes it seems to be less common among those who live in assisted living facilities. Shockingly little exiting literature was found when conducting a literature review concerning deprescribing in assisted living facilities. Therefore, it was determined to set forth this call to action to focus on deprescribing in assisted living facilities hoping that it would be given more attention to keep our seniors healthy and safe.
