This session describes the assessment of pain in older adults and the range of assessment tools available for clinicians to use.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • Identify the factors to take into account when assessing pain in older adults
  • List the differences between acute and chronic pain
  • Select appropriate assessment tools for assessing pain symptoms in older adults

Because many older adults are unable to articulate their pain, they may not receive the treatment that they need. Therefore, health workers must be aware, receptive and creative in their approaches to meeting the care needs of potentially vulnerable older adults.
