[Pain management by nursing teams: exploratory research in 9 wards of the Vaud University Hospital Center (CHUV, Lausanne, Switzerland) 2].

Using both nursing documents and verbal reports as well as client interviews, the authors review pain management by nursing teams in 9 wards of a university hospital. The results were obtained using descriptive and inferential analyses. Looking at each situation from three different view-points reveals the absence of a systematic approach to the reporting and evaluation of pain and the usage of a sometimes very vague language. In addition, the preponderance of medically-oriented interventions in the reports considerably overshadowed the autonomous nursing role. The authors propose a basic structure for pain reporting which should help to improve its overall management.
