The American Society for Pain Management Nursing (ASPMN) upholds the principle that all persons with pain have equal rights to evidence-based, high quality pain assessment, management, and treatment. This practice recommendation's goals are to 1) summarize known pain-related disparities, inequities, and injustices among commonly marginalized and at risk groups, 2) offer recommendations to ascertain that just and equitable pain care is provided to all people, and 3) outline a call to action for all nurses to embrace diversity, equity, inclusion, and a sense of belonging in order to mitigate pain-related disparities, inequities, and injustices within clinical environments and the nursing profession.
