摘要

Background: Over 50% of community-dwelling older adults experience chronic pain, which threatens their quality of life. Of\udimportance to their pain management is older people’s interaction with health professionals that, if unsatisfactory, may\udimpair the outcome.\udAims: To add to the limited research specific to older people living with chronic pain in the community, we explored how\udthey perceive their experiences of interacting with health professionals, seeking factors that might optimise these\udinteractions.\udMethods: Purposive sampling was used to recruit men and women .65 years with self-reported musculoskeletal chronic\udpain. Qualitative individual interviews and one group interview were undertaken with 23 participants. Data were transcribed\udverbatim and underwent Framework Analysis.\udResults: Three themes were identified. Seeking help illustrates issues around why older people in the community may or\udmay not seek help for chronic pain, and highlights the potential involvement of social comparison. Importance of diagnosis\udillustrates the desire for professional validation of their condition and an aversion to vague explanations based on the\udperson’s age. Being listened to and being heard illustrates the importance of empathic communication and understanding\udexpectations, with due respect for the person’s age.\udConclusions: In common with people of all ages, an effective partnership between an older person in pain and health\udprofessionals is essential if pain is to be reported, appropriately assessed and managed, because of the subjective nature of\udpain and its treatment responses. For older people with pain, perception about their age, by both parties in the partnership,\udis an additional factor that can unnecessarily interfere with the effectiveness of this partnership. Health professionals should\udengage with older adults to clarify their expectations about pain and its management, which may be influenced by\udperceptions about age; and to encourage expression of their concerns, which may also be affected by perceptions about\udage.
