Article Abstract

The concept of nursing consultation takes on its full meaning with people suffering from chronic pain. The Société française d'étude et de traitement de la douleur (French Society for the Study and Treatment of Pain), and more specifically its professional nursing commission, has drawn up a reference framework of consultation activities on which pain resource nurses (PRNs) can draw. This describes the various stages in the management of chronic pain patients. In view of the needs and expectations expressed by the population in terms of care, the PRN function is likely to evolve towards that of advanced practice nurse.
