Calls
Special Issue of Journal of Social Work in End-of-Life and Palliative Care - Pain Issues in Palliative Care and End of Life: Expanding the Social Work RoleEXTENDED Deadline: March 30, 2016
Pain and/or the fear of pain is often experienced by patients receiving palliative care and those facing end of life. Failure to address the multidimensional sources of pain and related suffering can produce emotional and moral distress for both personal and professional care providers. Disparities continue in access to quality pain management, and too few providers feel well-prepared to care for those with complicated pain concerns. For this special thematic issue, manuscripts are encouraged that report on original research, including systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses, policy analysis, program evaluation, innovative educational programs, and evaluated community interventions. Manuscripts must specifically relate to palliative and/or end-of-life care topics in pain/symptom management for serious illness. Click here for more information.
