Zertifizierung von Einrichtungen der Senecura

The study of pain and pain management, as well as the optimization of pain management in residential long-term care facilities, is a research focus of the Institute for Nursing Science and Practice. This is particularly important because it has a direct impact on the quality of life of affected individuals.
To this end, the PMU collaborated with selected SeneCura facilities on nursing pain management. The PMU supported SeneCura facilities in obtaining the “Qualified Pain Management in Full-Time Long-Term Care” certification. All certifications were conducted using the recognized procedure by Certkom, a project of the German Pain Society (Deutsche Schmerzgesellschaft e.V.). This procedure was developed by Certkom in cooperation with the Institute for Nursing Science and Practice at PMU.
Through this procedure, facilities optimized their nursing pain management, while the PMU supported the process by strengthening nursing competencies. In total, 15 SeneCura facilities successfully obtained certification. The certified facilities demonstrate that they provide nursing pain management in line with current scientific evidence, improving the pain situation of residents and thus enhancing their quality of life.
