Popis: Pain is a phenomenon that has an impact on clients in a variety of settings. Nurses have many responsibilities related to assessment, diagnosis, intervention, and evaluation when caring for the person experiencing pain. The phenomenon of pain is described through a concept analysis, which is guided by the research tradition of phenomenology. A review of both medical and nonmedical literature provides a broad base of definitions from which the attributes, antecedents, and consequences are derived. The analysis includes the construction of various cases and identification of empirical referents in the phenomenologic tradition. Suggestions for future development and implementation of the concept into clinical nursing practice and clinical nursing research are included.
