Development of a set of indicators for the quality of chronic pain management in Chinese community-dwelling older adults: a Delphi study
This study introduces a preliminary framework, based on the "Structure-Process-Outcome" theory, to evaluate chronic pain management in Chinese community-dwelling older adults. Its reliance on expert opinions without empirical validation, exclusion of patient perspectives, and focus on Chinese communities limit its applicability and generalizability. Future research should address these limitations by incorporating patient feedback, empirically validating indicators, and evaluating their applicability across diverse populations.
