Brief Summary:
Poor adherence to pain management and high pain intensity associated with serious advanced illness is a major public health concern This randomized clinical trial will test the efficacy of a newly enhanced digital pain and pain management application e-PainSupport for use in a home hospice setting The e-PainSupport application delivers an education module about pain management to patients and caregivers expedites pain reporting to nurses and facilitates adherence to pain management The overall goal of the e-PainSupport application is to improve pain management and reduce patient pain intensity in the home hospice setting
Detailed Description:
High pain intensity is a common symptom experienced by patients with serious advanced illness However pain management for patients in home hospice is less than optimal Impediments to improving pain intensity are poor adherence to pain management regimen due in part to caregiver lack of knowledge a barrier to reporting pain and using analgesics and lack of self-efficacy confidence in administering analgesics Digital applications may facilitate pain management by 1 delivering education to increase knowledge and self-efficacy 2 expediting pain reporting to nurses and 3 improving adherence to pain management e-PainSupport is a self-administered digital pain management application developed in collaboration with hospice nurses and caregivers It is directly linked to a patients medical record and enhanced by an evidence-based educational module It has three elements a Educational Module b Patient Pain Record and c Pain Summary for Nurses The purpose of this study is to test the effects of e-PainSupport on home hospice patient pain intensity when used by patients caregivers and nurses Participants 132 triads of patient caregiver and the hospice nurse assigned to the patient will be recruited from one large Midwest hospice agency Patient and caregiver outcomes will be assessed at baseline and 2 weeks post baseline Data will be analyzed with multi-level modeling Post-intervention semi-structured interviews will be conducted with nurses who provided care to patients in the e-PainSupport condition Qualitative content analysis will be used to identify themes related to perceived practice changes after using e-PainSupport e-PainSupport has potential as a useful tool to advance home hospice care by enhancing the quality of caregiver pain management facilitating nurse-patient communication and improving management of patient pain intensity
