Abstract
A series of three narrated Powerpoint Lectures by Professor James Elander of the University of Derby, UK.
This second pesentation is about sickle cell patients' experience of pain and the use of pain killers and risk of addition. Professor Elander provides an account of how addiction is assessed, and how levels of addiction are low and similar to other painful conditions. However, a patient's attempts to relieve their pain is often perceived as addition.
Prof. Elander concludes there is a need for further research in order to improve healthcare provision and to provide better pain interventions for sickle patients.
The teaching resources are available in multiple formats, including a narrated presentation, and as slides in PDF formats.
These series of resources are intended for students and educators involved in the study of social aspects of healthcare, or as part of biomedical, medical or nursing.
