¶ … Mindfulness Meditation Training on Experimentally Induced Pain" by Zeidan et al., (2010), published in the Journal of Pain, presents the results of research to investigate
The research addresses a gap in the research examining the benefit of meditation in attenuating pain symptoms. The research problem is clearly articulated, with the title clearly stating the content of the paper and the introduction expressing and justifying the issue. Past research has demonstrated that meditation programs, such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) programs have been correlated with positive health outcomes, including pain attenuation. The most common form of program is the MBSR. In the context of pain management the eight-week length of the program renders it difficult for some patients, such as suffers of chronic pain, as they may not have the ability, or the time, required to complete the course. The research undertaken by Zeidan et al. (2010) addresses this problem, implementing a short MBSR intervention which lasts only three days. A second problem was also identified with the past research, the potential f the positive health benefits and pain attenuation being the result of the palliative effect due to the long time commitment, rather than the direct result of the actual intervention. The shorter study period also reduced the potential impact of the outcome being due to the palliative effect.
With the problem articulated, this research was undertaken to assess the impact of a three day MBSR on pain attenuation, comparing the results of MBSR with other two other strategies used in pain management; relaxation and math distraction. The research does not state a specific hypothesis; instead it is adopting an approach to answer the research question. The key terms are all explained, inching what is meant by MBSR as well as the processed and equipment used. The outcome is...

Moreover, fully three-quarters of the surveyed nurses reported that the lack of adequate assessment of cancer pain was a significant barrier to effective pain management, and almost as many (72%) reported a lack of clinician knowledge as representing yet another significant barrier to effective pain management (Vorthern and Ward 1992). Given the complexity of the pain experience, helping caregivers provide appropriate levels of pain management is particularly challenging. Many
Hospice caregivers have moral obligations to the patient and the patient's caregivers. The author clarifies that in the hospice, the patient's family members are, in fact, the primary caregivers under the situation. The best that nurses can do is to use strategies, which will incorporate family members into delivering the best palliative care possible. Failure to achieve the best results can create much moral anguish and sense of failure
The study observed that post training pain documented by physicians and nurses increased from 61% and 76% to 78% and 85% respectively. Also noticeable was the increase in dosage of analgesia from 40% to 63% and of morphine from 10% to 17% while intravenous morphine dosage increased from 2.45 to 4.6 mg. The visual analogue scale score, which is an indicator of pain, also showed a marked reduction from
