| Annotation | This systematic review aims to examine the evidence for the effectiveness of pain assessment strategies in older people with or without cognitive function. It highlights the problems in assessing and managing pain; and provides a range of tools which demonstrate good validity and reliability for clinical practice in assessing pain in older people. It explores the attitudes and beliefs of older people with pain about the assessment of their pain and interactions with carers. It evaluates the effectiveness of self-assessment to quantify pain in older people. It determines if changes in pain assessment strategy are required for people with cognitive impairment, mental health or psychological problems. These guidelines follow procedures developed by the British Pain Society. (RH). |
