Abstract

Pain in the older person remains poorly assessed and managed across a number of practice settings including in the acute hospital environment (Brown & McCormack 2011). Guidelines exist to support clinical practice but the research practice gap remains an issue (Macintyre et al. 2010; Samaraee et al. 2010; Prowse 2007). Exploring the decision making of nurses, doctors and older people around this issue may help identify facilitators to improving care
