Kate Seers

Here is an abstract of Dr. Toye’s and Dr. Seers’ talk:

BACKGROUND: Modern medicine, focusing on diagnosis and cure, has created the danger that we are removed from the personal experience of pain. There is a wealth of qualitative knowledge that can help us to understand this experience, and therefore improve the healthcare that we provide.

AIM: To create a resource that will help educators to include qualitative research in pain education.

METHODS:

• We gathered a team of professionals and patients.
• We identified relevant audio-visual resources.
• We searched 4 bibliographic databases from inception until December 2017 to identify relevant qualitative evidence syntheses. 
• We developed lesson plans and teaching materials.

FINDINGS: The resource brings together audio-visual resources and qualitative evidence syntheses (n=42) that can be used in pain education. There are eight suggested lesson plans.
