This study addressed two research questions: What are medical social workers' attitudes toward the management of chronic pain, and how knowledgeable are they about chronic pain? Findings indicate that social workers hold a highly positive orientation toward both nonmedical treatment of chronic pain and social work involvement in chronic pain services, but they display low levels of knowledge about chronic pain and pain management. Together these findings suggest that social workers possess the willingness and opportunity to develop a social work specialization in pain management but may be hindered by an uncertain knowledge base in the area.
医务社会工作者对慢性疼痛管理的态度是什么，以及他们对慢性疼痛的了解程度如何？研究结果表明，社会工作者对慢性疼痛的非医学治疗以及社会工作参与慢性疼痛服务都持高度积极的态度，但他们对慢性疼痛和疼痛管理的了解程度较低。这些研究结果共同表明，社会工作者有意愿也有机会发展疼痛管理方面的社会工作专业，但可能受到该领域知识基础不明确的阻碍。
