Emotional Regulation skills Education for acute pain management in total knee replacement
Overview
Overview
Acute pain is a common experience in the surgery setting, and emotional responses such as anxiety, fear, or frustration can significantly influence how patient perceive and cope with pain. This project aims to explore how education about emotional regulation skills can improve outcomes for patients experiencing acute pain.
By teaching simple, evidence-based strategies to recognize and manage emotional responses, we hope to empower patients to improve communication, reduce stress, and enhance pain management.
