Inclusion of family members in the assessment of patients with chronic pain can improve outcomes. Family functioning can be assessed in four basic areas: boundaries, power, communication, and intimacy. Early recognition of maladaptive patterns in the family allows the family physician to consider a variety of interventions ranging from educating the spouse to referring the family for therapy or multidisciplinary pain management.
让家庭成员参与慢性疼痛患者的评估可以改善治疗效果。家庭功能可从四个基本方面进行评估:界限、权力、沟通和亲密程度。早期识别家庭中的适应不良模式,使家庭医生能够考虑采取多种干预措施,从教育配偶到将家庭转介接受治疗或多学科疼痛管理。
