Learning objectives:
Describe three or more risks for individuals with co-occurring pain and substance use.
List two or more ethical principles related to the treatment of individuals with co-occurring pain and substance use.
Assessing and managing pain while evaluating risks associated with substance use and substance use disorders continues to be a challenge faced by health care clinicians. The American Society for Pain Management Nursing and the International Nurses Society on Addictions uphold the principle that all persons with co-occurring pain and substance use or substance use disorders have the right to be treated with dignity and respect, and receive evidence-based, high quality assessment, and management for both conditions. The American Society for Pain Management Nursing and International Nurses Society on Addictions have updated their 2012 position statement on this topic supporting an integrated, holistic, multidimensional approach, which includes non-opioid and non-pharmacological modalities. This presentation will examine both the formation and workflow process of the taskforce authoring the position paper as well as position paper content. This includes an overview of the need for the update based on national and healthcare issues, the decision making process of the taskforce, a summary of major changes from 2012 to 2022, current recommendations and plans for the next revision.
