Multicenter Study
Care related pain in hospitalized patients: a cross-sectional study.
Care-related pain includes pain occurring during transportation, movement, diagnostic imaging, physical examination, or treatment. Its prevalence has never been assessed in a large adult inpatient population. ⋯ This survey gives new insight into our daily practice. Proper management of care-related pain should be a major concern of all hospital staff to improve the quality of our health care.
