dc.description.abstract | Aim: To investigate analgesic use and pain in people with and without dementia in Australian residential aged are facilities. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 383 residents of six residential aged are facilities was conducted. Nurses assessed self-reported and clinician-observed pain. Analgesic use data were extracted from medication charts. Logistic regression was used to investigate factors associated with analgesic use. Results: Analgesics were administered to 291 (76.0%) residents in the previous 24 hours. The prevalence of analgesic use was similar among residents with and without dementia (79.3% vs 73.4%, P = 0.20). Residents with dementia had a higher prevalence of self-reported pain than those without dementia but similar prevalence of clinician-observed pain. In residents with dementia, high care residence and dementia severity were associated with analgesic use. Conclusion: The prevalence of analgesic use was similar among residents with and without dementia. Both self- reported and clinician-observed measures are needed in regular pain assessments. | - |
