Abstract
Objective: to identify the sensitive results of nursing interventions at the level of non-pharmacological measures in the person with pain. Methodology: systematic review of the literature with research in EBSCO (CINAHL and MEDLINE), between January 2012 and October 2017, using the PI[C]O method. We selected 9 articles for analysis. Results: Sensitive results identified for chronic pain - symptom control (decrease in pain intensity), functional status (increase in joint amplitude), effective adaptation strategies (improvement of well-being and comfort) and self-care (satisfaction); for acute pain - symptom control. Training is fundamental for self-management for people with pain and for the development of nurses’ competences. Conclusions: complementary non-pharmacological measures in comparison to conventional therapies have positive effects on pain control in adults and on the elderly. Keywords: Nursing; nursing care; nursing intervention; ache; pain management; alternative therapies; non-pharmacological measures and quality of life.
