Nursing Problem: Assisting patients with chronic pain to self-manage their condition.
Practice Plan:
1. Establish a trusting relationship with the patient by showing empathy and respect for their individual needs and resources.
2. Educate the patient on Roy’s Adaptation Model, including the four adaptive modes of physiology, self-concept/group identity, role function, and interdependence.
3. Use an assessment tool to identify baseline data regarding the patient’s current functioning across all four adaptive modes (e.g., a subjective report from the patient about how they perceive their own health).
4. Work collaboratively with the patient to create an individualized plan focusing on coping strategies that can be used during times of acute pain episodes (e.g., relaxation techniques, physical activity).
5. Clearly explain to the patient how each chosen strategy is intended to improve his/her ability to cope with pain as well as provide examples of how it has helped other patients in similar circumstances – this can help increase motivation and compliance with recommended interventions.
6. Monitor progress over time by evaluating changes in behaviors or attitudes that lead towards improved management of chronic pain symptoms while offering necessary support when needed (e.g., encouraging use of coping strategies or providing emotional support).
