Intrathecal morphine pump helps alleviate pain in the advanced stages of cancer, and thus, ensuring safe intrathecal morphine pump infusion is important. In this study, we investigated the effect of healthcare failure mode and effects analysis (HFMEA) in the management of patients with intrathecal morphine pump implantation. ⋯ With the application of the HFMEA model, a multidisciplinary team assessed the risks associated with the use of intrathecal morphine pumps and prioritized measures to reduce them. By implementing the improvement measures, potential errors decreased significantly during the intrathecal morphine pump process. It allowed nursing managers to change the safety incidents related to drug administration using an intrathecal morphine pump from negative treatment after the event to active prevention before the event, greatly improved the level of drug use safety management, reflected the continuous improvement of nursing quality, and ensured nursing safety.

Labor pain is a subjective phenomenon that varies based on women's expectations. To have a positive childbirth experience, laboring women should have pain relief based on their request. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the utilization of labor pain management and associated factors among obstetric caregivers in Ethiopia DATA SOURCES: Different electronic databases (i.e., PubMed, Scopus, Embase, CINAHL, DOAJ, Web of Science, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect, and CAB Abstracts) were searched for published studies, whereas Google Scholar and Google Search were used for unpublished studies. ⋯ Labor pain management utilization among obstetric care providers in Ethiopia was poor. Health care provider attitude was positively associated with labor pain management. On-site training was recommended for obstetric care providers to improve the practice of labor pain management. © 20XX by the American Society for Pain Management Nursing.

The American Society for Pain Management Nursing (ASPMN) upholds the principle that all persons with pain have equal rights to evidence-based, high quality pain assessment, management, and treatment. This practice recommendation's goals are to 1) summarize known pain-related disparities, inequities, and injustices among commonly marginalized and at risk groups, 2) offer recommendations to ascertain that just and equitable pain care is provided to all people, and 3) outline a call to action for all nurses to embrace diversity, equity, inclusion, and a sense of belonging in order to mitigate pain-related disparities, inequities, and injustices within clinical environments and the nursing profession. This paper provides background and rationale for the 2024 ASPMN position statement on disparities, inequities and injustices in people with pain.

The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the preliminary efficacy of an 8-week qigong intervention in managing biopsychosocial outcomes in veterans with chronic low back pain (CLBP). ⋯ The combination of gentle, slow-paced movements, along with the focused mindfulness of qigong, may improve physiological and psychosocial health. Charged with this information, healthcare providers (e.g., nurses, physical therapists) should consider non-pharmacological interventions such as qigong for veterans with CLBP.

To examine the effect of a self-efficacy-promoting program on pain management among patients with cancer. ⋯ Pain is high prevalence among patients with cancer. Self-efficacy program can be used as a guide and framework for pain management among adult cancer patients in clinical care.
