Pain can cause significant distress not only for people with serious illnesses but also for their families and caregivers. It is one of the most common symptoms in palliative care, one of the most feared, and unfortunately one that is frequently undertreated. To manage pain effectively, you must understand and possibly rethink some basic ideas about pain and pain treatment. In this course, you will learn the epidemiology of pain, the problems that arise because of undertreated pain, the components of a pain assessment, the role of the palliative care team, and methods to treat pain in palliative care.
The goal of this course is to educate nurses and physicians about the evidence-based pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments for pediatric pain.
Working cross-culturally requires you to appreciate the impact cultural differences have on interpersonal communication. Transcultural healthcare workers are sensitive to these differences and strive to determine the most appropriate and effective ways to interact with diverse colleagues. When you communicate and collaborate productively with your colleagues, you are much more likely to deliver culturally relevant care to your patients and improve the overall patient experience.
The goal of this course is to provide healthcare employees with training about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
