Pressure injury pain over time among nursing home residents,

While VRS and PAINAD scores exhibited a relationship, their agreement was limited. Documentation of PrI pain on the Minimum Data Set (MDS) was found to be inadequate. Notably, 40 % of participants reported higher levels of PrI pain in the afternoon, suggesting this time may be opportune for PrI pain assessment and management. Interestingly, participants who received medication for general pain did not report PrI pain, suggesting that treatment of general pain may effectively alleviate PrI pain symptoms.
