Description
This thesis explored patient, clinician, environmental and illness factors that influence how doctors and nurses treat patients who present to the emergency department in pain. The findings confirm that patients are more likely to receive analgesic medication in a shorter time and have a more positive experience with pain care when the emergency department is less busy, they have less pre-existing illness, and have a higher socioeconomic status. The identification of these factors has important implications for making changes to the way emergency departments and emergency clinicians treat pain in a timely and patient-centered manner.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
