Summary: This article presents a survey-based study conducted on graduate medical residents and fellows in an integrated health system. The study investigates pain curricula, learner perspectives on pain education, and learner knowledge, attitudes, and confidence. The findings indicate that the pain education provided in graduate medical settings is insufficient to meet the needs of learners.

Summary: The 2021 Action Plan for Pain from the Canadian Pain Task Force emphasizes patient-centered pain care in healthcare across provinces. Implementing the plan requires innovative shared decision-making interventions, especially after the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The first step is to assess the current decisional needs of Canadians with chronic pain across their care pathways.

Summary: This study analyzed videos on YouTube about epidural catheter placement and found that most of the videos were of poor quality and unsuitable for self-study due to serious errors and patient safety issues. The lack of quality control makes it difficult to find suitable videos for educational purposes.

Summary: Ghanaian nurses have limited knowledge about pediatric pain management, leading to undertreatment of pain in children. An educational program for nurses can effectively improve their knowledge and attitudes towards pediatric pain management, but regular updates are necessary to sustain the knowledge gained.

Summary: This study aimed to validate alternative pain management strategies that can reduce reliance on opioids for postoperative pain management in otology. The study randomized adult patients who underwent outpatient otologic surgery into two treatment groups. The results showed that the addition of patient education, acetaminophen, and naproxen to postoperative opioid prescriptions significantly reduced opioid consumption without affecting pain scores or complication rates.

Summary: Despite good pain control in cancer patients, a high percentage of patients still experience moderate-to-severe interference with daily activities. Fatalism was identified as the highest barrier to effective cancer pain management among patient-related barriers, highlighting the need to address this mentality for better pain control outcomes. Additionally, further studies are urgently needed to explore barriers related to health care professionals and health care system for a holistic approach to pain management.

Summary: This article describes the establishment and implementation of a therapeutic patient education program focused on cancer pain, as well as the challenges and opportunities encountered. Ten nurse-doctor pairs were trained and developed educational, evaluation, and communication tools for patients to understand different types of pain, pain treatments, and daily pain management. The importance of communicating with oncologists and independent health professionals was emphasized. The program met patient needs and addressed difficulties, such as organization, structure, and communication issues.

Summary: People with cancer and health professionals often face psychological distress in the field of oncology. Mindfulness meditation has been used to relieve stress-related symptoms. A pilot study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of a mindfulness intervention involving cancer patients, health professionals, and others. The qualitative findings from focus groups showed that meditating together was appreciated and seen as motivating and relieving feelings of loneliness. Participants reported better stress management and discussed the benefits and challenges of meditation practice. The study supports the need for a fully powered randomized trial to demonstrate the potential added value of shared meditation in improving well-being among cancer patients, health professionals, and others.
