Talking on the telephone with people who have experienced pain in hospital: clinical audit or research?

The adequacy of postoperative pain management in British hospitals appears insufficient to improve patient care, and much of the research and clinical audit in postoperative pain has failed to seek the patient's perspective. This paper reports on the findings from a semi-structured telephone interview survey which formed part of a hospital-wide audit on postoperative pain at a district general hospital in the south of England. Of a total of 360 completed audit questionnaires, 114 patients left their telephone number and 29 were interviewed. Content analysis revealed five main themes: inadequate information, pain at home, staff attitudes, expectations of pain, and ward atmosphere. Several patients identified insightful strategies that potentially could improve pain management. The telephone interview generated a richness of data that had not been reported before in this important area. Some authors view clinical audit and research as having different characteristics but this work raises important questions for both approaches when using the semi-structured telephone interview. The ethical issues pertaining to collection of audit data using the telephone interview are discussed.

Ethical issues in publication of research.

We often think of research ethics mostly in connection with the processes of intervention, data collection, and analysis, but ethics does not stop there. The process of preparing publications involves a number of ethical considerations, including continued protection of the rights of human subjects; reporting findings truthfully, accurately, and completely and using one's own words to do so, or appropriately citing the work of others; and ensuring that authorship credit and acknowledgments accurately reflect the contributions of others. No foolproof way exists to ensure that only ethical publications see print; however, including content on publication ethics in all research courses, publishing clear policies related to ethical expectations in journals, and engaging in discussion of these issues with colleagues are a good start toward that goal.
