“…Despite multiple calls for national education campaigns (Mossey, 2011), recent studies continue to show Hispanic individuals have poor knowledge about treatment options and are offered limited treatment alternatives (Torres, Thorn, Kapoor, & DeMonte, 2017). Pain education is one of the first steps to effective pain management (Sherwood & McNeill, 2016). This study is the first to study an online intervention providing health information in Spanish regarding chronic pain treatment.…”

“…In addition to talking to friends and family, participants in this study indicated they would use the intervention to talk to their provider, to change their daily routine, and to change the way they cared for themselves. These findings are also significant given that many individuals in this population suffer in silence, ignore their pain, and are reluctant to engage in treatment due to fear of disrupting their families and/or their work lives (Sherwood & McNeill, 2016; Torres et al, 2017). Educating patients is part of a process of empowerment, which allows for patients to make personal, value-driven, and effective choices about their health care (Marzorati & Pravettoni, 2017).…”

Objective: Chronic pain is a common health problem in the United States, and it is associated with numerous physical and mental health issues. Disparities in pain treatment are high for particular populations, including Latinos, who comprise a significant percent of the U.S. population. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate an online health education intervention for Spanish-speaking Latinas with chronic pain. The intervention was developed based on a biopsychosocial approach to treatment and targeted multiple domains including exercise, psychological wellbeing, regaining function, emotional wellbeing, sleep hygiene, and stress management. Method: Through a mixed-method, single-arm design, this pilot study examined patients’ and providers’ acceptability of and satisfaction with the intervention, as well as the impact of the intervention on patients’ knowledge, chronic pain self-efficacy, pain severity, and pain interference (measured pre and post intervention). Results: Both chronic pain patients (n = 40) and provider participants (n = 10) reported high rates of participation, and high ratings for website features and website content. Patient participants also experienced a significant increase in knowledge regarding pain management and treatment options, and in chronic pain self-efficacy, as well as a significant decrease in pain interference. Although means for pain severity were lower at the posttest session, this change was not significant. Conclusions: Overall, results indicate that an online educational intervention that targets Spanish-speaking Latinas with chronic pain is feasible, potentially impactful, and that there is a need for such interventions. Recommendations include additional content and interactive features that could improve satisfaction, engagement, and impact.

“…Ribas-Roca and Eamranond (2016) note that “failure to address limited English proficiency is one of the main reasons leading to health disparities among Latinos” (p. 103). The lack of specific measurement approaches designed for this population poses a barrier to effective treatment (Sherwood & McNeill, 2016).…”

“…Although the reasons remain unclear, disparity in pain management for racial and ethnic groups continues to be a concern (Payne, 2009; Sherwood & McNeill, 2016). Explanations may include racial bias and provider, patient, and health system barriers such as lack of culturally appropriate materials and measurements (Sherwood & McNeill, 2016).…”

Effective pain management continues to baffle clinicians in spite of numerous evidence-based guidelines and standards, focused clinical interventions and standardized assessments. Reflective practice is a mindful approach to practice that grounds clinicians in the moment with the individual patient to ask questions and then to listen to the patient's message about their pain experience. Reflective practice helps meld theoretical knowledge with lessons from experience to rethink mechanistic responses to patient pain. The subjective nature of pain means no two patients have the same experience, and, evidence based best practices are to be applied within the patient's preferences and context. The paper uses a case study to illustrate how to apply reflective practice to integrate the interprofessional quality and safety competencies to provide patient-centered pain management. Applying reflective questions throughout the care experience by all members of the healthcare team provides a mindful approach that focuses care on the individual patient.
