In this Blog Post, Manuela Hoedl (Institute of Nursing Science, Medical University of Graz) introduces a practical and user-friendly toolkit with a collection of 18 non-pharmacological interventions for pain management. The toolkit has been designed so that staff working in nursing homes can identify the right evidence-based intervention for each resident.

The toolkit was developed following a three-step systematic approach and including nursing staff from the onset: 1) identification of relevant interventions, 2) synthesis of the current evidence using up-to-date evidence summaries or rapid reviews, and 3) discussion of the findings with nursing staff and residents regarding acceptability, feasibility, and resources.
