Webinar: Pain Recognition and Management in Dementia

Description:

Pain in dementia is often neglected due to expressive difficulty and altered mental status in individuals with dementia. There are some myths that people with dementia do not feel pain, or the pain behavior is part of their manipulative behavior. Poor understanding of pain contributed to untreated illnesses, withdrawal, confusion, and distress to caregivers due to negative behaviors in people with dementia. This training is crucial for healthcare practitioners and caregivers in promoting a pain-free life for people with dementia.

By the end of the webinar, you will be able to:

• Understand the prevalence of pain in dementia and the impact of dementia on pain experience.

• Assess pain in people with dementia.

• Manage pain in people with dementia through non-pharmacological and pharmacological methods.

• Learn the end-of-life pain management with a palliative care approach.

An e-certificate and 1 CPD point are granted at the end of the webinar.
