- Title
Persistent Pain in Older Adults: Roy’s Adaptation Model.
- Authors
Flanagan, Nina M.
- Abstract
Persistent pain in older adults is difficult to assess and therefore address consistently. The experience of pain is individual, and therefore a comprehensive way to assess pain is required. Roy’s adaptation model offers a systematic way of evaluating pain in the older adult. In this column, the author shares some statistics about persistent pain and a case study using Roy’s model as a system for assessment.
