摘要
Nursing assistants are strategically positioned to detect and interpret behavioral alterations indicative of pain in residents suffering from dementia. Despite this, extant literature is scarce regarding their experiences in administering pain care to this demographic. Utilizing a phenomenological approach, this study engaged 17 nursing assistants selected via purposive sampling for semi-structured interviews. Data analysed by the Colaizzi 7-step method. Four emergent themes were discerned: perception of pain; strategies for coping with pain; emotional and psychological responses to pain-related caregiving; challenges and needs in pain-related caregiving. Nursing assistants play a unique and crucial role in the identification of pain, reporting and providing feedback to healthcare professionals, and implementing non-pharmacological interventions. However, these roles have not been fully utilized. Enhancements in pain management could be facilitated by decreasing staff turnover, augmenting educational and training programs, and incorporating empathy-focused situational training. The provision of mental health services is also recommended to ameliorate caregiving-induced stress.
