The Use of Information and Communication Technologies for Teaching about Pain
A Scoping Review
Keywords:
health personnel, students, health occupations, educational technology, information technology, painAbstract
Objective: To identify the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to teach about pain and the methods for offering ICTs to students and health professionals. Method: This is a scoping review. The literature search was conducted in January 2019 on PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus and VHL databases. Results: 717 references were reviewed, of which 34 studies were included. There was a prevalence of courses tailored to nurses and nursing students. Courses mainly focused on pain in adults and were comprised of games, videos, simulations, and images. In general, positive feedback was provided by users. Conclusion: The literature describes a limited amount of pain-related ICT. Results from this review indicated benefits related to using ICT in pain education and training, as well as broad acceptance by users. The use of ICT is an innovative alternative for health education and training for pain teaching and other specialties.
