Pain Management Course Analysis

869 Words4 Pages

Throughout this course and semester, I have learned a lot about pain. Specifically, this course has enhanced my knowledge of the functional role and mechanisms of pain, the psychological aspect of pain and the pain management modalities and their effectiveness in managing pain. This course was taught effectively in a sense that it included a variety of ways to express the information and data to the students. One of the learning outcomes that I believe that was definitely met was being able to explain the pathophysiology of acute and chronic pain states. One of the learning out comes that I believe that was least met was being able to discuss the mechanisms of action of various pain management modalities and their efficacy in managing pain, …show more content…

This course featured a variety of ways to express information to students. The techniques that I found very effective were the videos and the conversations on Blackboard. I thought the videos were an effective way to convey information because it is easily accessible, as many students have phones and devices that can access YouTube easily. Additionally, I believe the use of media as a teaching tool can help keep students interested in the topic, as different students can find visual learning more effective. In my experience with online courses, some courses do not require the students to make interactions with their fellow peers. In this course, the conversation aspect helped facilitate and maintain the learning experience by forcing interaction between peers and making students research further into the topic in a given …show more content…

I would like the specifically target the non-pharmacological approaches to pain section because I feel like the section was not as effective at conveying information to students as the previous sections. In this section, there was only a conversation task where students were required to research a non-pharmacological option to manage pain. All of the other aspects of the other modules were left out, such as the videos and also a quiz. I believe by not including videos and other media, the research component by itself fell short in helping me meet this outcome, but only for specifically for the non-pharmacological approach section. Outside of the course, I read other articles about the non-pharmacological options to manage pain, talked to my physiotherapist about non-pharmacological techniques used in the field of physiotherapy, such as cupping therapy and also reading the posts by my peers in the conversation forum also helped me expand my knowledge to an

    In the article, “Sometimes Pain Is a Puzzle That Can’t Be Solved”, Abigail Zuger, the author, describes her own experiences with pain along with some examples and generalizations about the feeling. She claims that she is “ruled by (her) elbow” and “it is (her) constant companion, whimpering, and tugging at (her) sleeve.” She goes on to say that many people have the same problems, especially when drugs, “like naproxen and ibuprofen” are unhelpful and “might as well be cornflakes.” Finally, she explains how far we have advanced in the medical field, but “ none of (the) knowledge has translated into new treatments,” to help people such as herself.

    I am so happy you picked pain as your ICP project. Pain, in my eyes, has always been all encompassing. It can affect sleep, ability to move around, eating, healing, breathing, mood and relationships (Shega, Tiedt, Grant, & Dale, 2014). Personally when I am in severe pain I really do not want people around and it affects every aspect of my life. To think that persistent pain affects 80% of elderly residents in nursing homes and 50% of community dwellers, and we still do not treat this properly (Veal& Peterson, 2015).

    So, learning is an interactive process in which the learner develops his or her own understanding by assembling facts, experiences, and practices. In addition, interaction is closely linked to successful learning as interacting with others can help students clarify the concepts, improve problem-solving, and enhance retention. Furthermore, increasing students’ opportunity to talk with one another and discuss their ideas increases their ability and to argue their opinions persuasively and respectfully (Weber et. al., 2008). Discussion and interactive discourse promote learning because they afford students the opportunity to use language as a demonstration of their independent thoughts.

  • MHA Program Reflection

    One of the most important actions that a student can take, is to be honest, and self-reflective, about the level of understanding achieved after completing any course within his/her education career. From my personal view, I feel that this class provided me with a great introduction to the MHA program, and is setting me up for successful in this educational program; but with that being said I would not pretend that I was able to assimilate every concept that was presented in this course, I would definitely need to continue to review the material in this course and on the MHA program overall, so that I could be a knowledgeable, and effective Health Care Manager. When it comes to my ability to discuss the different learning outcomes, I have to say that I definitely acquired a much deeper understanding of the material presented in this course. The materials were not difficult concepts to understand, but sometimes the way the material was delivered made it a difficult task just to read through the information, but as I would imagine, we are trying to achieve an education at a much higher level, which requires the processing and understanding of much more complex information, that sometimes will be

Students come from different backgrounds and as a teacher I have to know their previous knowledge. Students might have misconceptions and presumptions depending on how they have been taught.
