Fancy you thinking I'd got any pain. ' RESPONSE TO PATIENTS IN PAIN It is the right of the patient to make his own diagnosis of pain and to be believed when he does so. The anxiety caused by disbelief is unforgivable. The attitudes of nurses should never influence the decision of whether analgesia requested by the patient is necessary. The nurse who is under pressure or who feels stressed, for whatever reason, could too easily give a lower priority to the patient's pain than she would were she relaxed and perceptive.
It is a relatively simple matter to give the information and with careful thought it should be easy to see what is needed. In order to identify the worries and concerns of each patient it is necessary for those concerns to be voiced. Effective use of communication skills will encourage conversation within which the nurse can identify the areas of stress. Macleod Clark (1981) suggests that every nurse should be able to recognise when a patient needs information and that this ability should be developed by the responsible use of time spent in contact and conversation with him.
