This study assumes that family nursing will enhance the management of chronic nonmalignant pain (CNP) for the patients and their family members. CNP accounts for a major healthcare problem with a thorough impact on several levels. Living with CNP is a condition of life, that calls for acceptance, but due to the invisible nature of CNP, the patients often experience a lack of understanding and doubt about the condition´s reality making acceptance challenging. Research indicates that the involvement of relatives has a positive effect on the management of CNP. An existential need for individualised adapted involvement is expressed by patients and relatives. Family nursing has the potential to comply with the expressed need but is not investigated on patients with CNP. The objective of the study is to explore if an intervention with systematic family nursing conversations with patients with chronic nonmalignant pain and their selected family members is effective on primary self-efficacy and secondary family function, quality of life and anxiety/depression. The intervention is based on the concept of "family systems nursing" developed by Wright and Leahey. Besides usual treatment, the intervention consists of 3-4 structured conversations each 1,5 hour between the nurse, the patient and their selected family members. Previous to the intervention, the involved nurses will go through a family nursing course of three days duration. During the intervention, regular reflection sessions will be conducted. The study design is quasi-experimental with a baseline- and a post-test in two comparable groups of patients and their selected family members: An intervention group and a control group. The design is chosen to prevent contamination of the control group data if the nurses change behaviour regarding families after participating in the course. Collection of data from the control group will be completed before the course. In the intervention group, a follow-up assessment will be conducted four months after the post-test. Structured telephone interviews will obtain the selected self-reported outcomes from patients and their family members. The study will follow the ethical guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki (World-Medical-Association, 2008). The Data Protection Agency has approved the study with j-number VD-2019-152. According to The Danish National Committee on Health Research Ethics, there is no obligation to notify the study (record number: H-19016896).
This study aims to investigate the cognitive function of patients in the opioid reduction programme at the multidisciplinary pain centre at Zealand University Hospital Køge. The patients will be tested before, halfway through, and after the programme.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of 7-day BTDS in a 28-week open-label extension phase in subjects with chronic nonmalignant pain syndromes whose pain had been previously controlled by oral opioid combination therapy.
