Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s professors Elizabeth VanDenKerkhof and Rosemary Wilson (School of Nursing) as well as David Goldstein (Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine) recently travelled to Rwanda to learn more about pain management techniques used in hospitals in Kigali and Butare.

Their research is part of a larger project headed by Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s researchers Joel Parlow (Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine) and Ana Johnson (Public Health Sciences), supported by a Canada-Africa Research Exchange Grant from Universities Canada, and the Canadian Anesthesiologists카지노 게임 컬렉션� Society International Education Foundation.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Pain care lives with the nurses and they need to own it,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Wilson. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�We want to help them build their confidence and knowledge and also work with patients카지노 게임 컬렉션� families to help them understand the nurses play a vital role in pain management. It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s a tough lesson to teach as families look more to the physicians for assistance.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Dr. VanDenKerkhof says the research in Rwandan hospitals highlighted the importance of education.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�The health-care workers in Rwanda need to be better informed about who does what and that really goes back to educational programs. It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s no different than here really 카지노 게임 컬렉션� education and policies are important,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says.

Drs. VanDenKerkhof, Wilson and Goldstein worked with frontline health-care staff in Rwanda including nurses, nurse anesthetists, surgeons, anesthesiologists and trainees. They also consulted locally to refine and distribute questionnaires designed to better understand pain management practices and what drugs are available to alleviate pain.

Gaston Nyirigira, an anesthesiology resident in Rwanda, explained the study and questionnaire in Kinyarwanda, the local dialect.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�We really appreciated having someone on the ground,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. VanDenKerkhof. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�We don카지노 게임 컬렉션�t speak the local language nor do we have the same appreciation of the culture. Thanks to his efforts, we collected 147 surveys, which is more than we expected.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Drs. Wilson, VanDenKerkhof and Goldstein are back in Canada to examine the results and devise an education and policy implementation strategy with the assistance of Drs. Parlow and Johnson and the local Rwandan health-care providers. The research team is also welcoming Dr. Nyirigira to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 in the fall as part of the project. While here Dr. Nyirigira will also develop his research skills so he can conduct other studies upon his return to Rwanda.
