Pain management by nurses internationally has increased with the awareness of the importance of relief from pain in the healing process. Studies of the physiological mechanisms of pain and the impact on healing have promoted the recognition for pain relief. Pain relief has been part of all societies initially through traditional medicines and treatments and more recently through chemical and mechanical interventions. Today, studies of the efficacy of traditional methods has promoted a greater acceptance of methods used by various cultures. The research about the types of pain, effect of personal control of pain relief, the acceptance of alternative, non-invasive but effective methods of pain control, the available literature for consumers and professionals is impacting the role of the nurse in pain management. Internationally, nurses are culturally sensitive and integrate pain relief into their daily care, with patients with all types of pain. A program was instituted in Samoa for nurses to provide palliative care for patients dying with cancer. This was based on programs in the U. S., England, Australia and many other countries. Pain management is recognized as a major role of the nurse internationally and requires nurses to be more aware of the types of pain, methods of assessing pain, pain relief methods other than medications that have been demonstrated to be effective, as well as an awareness of cultural differences in relation to attitudes about pain and its origin.
