Pain Recognition and Response in Aged Care for Personal Care Workers and Support Workers Online Course Details
Pain is one of the most common and significant health issues experienced by older people, yet it can often be under-recognised or difficult to identify. This is particularly the case when supporting people living with dementia, cognitive impairment, communication difficulties, chronic conditions or complex care needs.
Personal care workers and support workers are often the first to notice changes in behaviour, mobility, communication, comfort or wellbeing that may indicate pain. Their observations play an important role in ensuring concerns are identified, reported and responded to appropriately.
This practical online course helps learners understand the physical, emotional, behavioural and social impacts of pain in older people. It explores how pain may present, the role of pain assessment, and how frontline care workers can contribute to safe, person-centred pain management within their role and scope of practice.
Learners will also develop an understanding of non-medication and medication-based pain management, as well as the importance of clear reporting, documentation, monitoring and communication as part of a multidisciplinary care team.
By strengthening the knowledge and confidence of frontline aged care workers, organisations can support better care outcomes, improve resident and client experiences, and contribute to safer, more responsive aged care services.
This course is designed for personal care workers, support workers and other frontline aged care staff working in residential aged care, home care and community care settings across Australia.
