Their work is done, but for the patient, the often painful, sometimes even traumatic, process of recovery is only just beginning. For the nurses providing post-operative care, the more tools they have, the better they can help their patients through this difficult period.<\/p><p>Starting out as a surgical ward nurse, Mimi Tse Mun Yee saw the suffering of the patients, and wanted to do more to help them. \u201cI could see post-operative patients in pain,\u201d she says. \u201cI always had this in my mind: what I can do to help them, besides using a pethidine injection, to help make the situation less painful, less traumatic?\u201d Now a professor of nursing in the Hong Kong Metropolitan University's School of Nursing and Health Sciences, Tse has been able to take her interest in pain management and channel it into a range of interventions that increase the caregiver's toolkit, and give patients a variety of ways to cope.<\/p><p>Through collaboration with health care providers working in Hong Kong's health system, Tse has been able to leverage HKMU's position as a University of Applied Sciences, and get the interventions to where they are needed. Because Tse herself has a nursing background, she has an innate sense of what projects are feasible and understands the importance of sharing the research gains. \u201cWhen you get results, you have to share them with the participating staff, so they know the benefit,\u201d she says.<\/p><p>Getting busy health care providers onside is key to successful pain management research, Tse explains. They have to see the value, otherwise it will just seem like extra work for the staff. \u00a0\u201cTake the idea of music for pain management. We have shown that music helps patients relax, it relieves pain. This is the science side. To convince the medical doctor and senior nurses, that is the art side, to make sure the logistics of the study are streamlined with the existing routine,\u201d Tse says. For example, nurses will take the patient's blood pressure every four hours, so any intervention design needs to stick to the same blood pressure measurement schedule.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60b585a elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"60b585a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-041bded elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-outside elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"041bded\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper-container\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hkmu.edu.hk\/nhs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/05\/2.jpg\" alt=\"2\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hkmu.edu.hk\/nhs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/05\/1.jpg\" alt=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hkmu.edu.hk\/nhs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/05\/3.jpg\" alt=\"3\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-prev\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"eicon-chevron-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Previous<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-next\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"eicon-chevron-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Next<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider wavo-column-gap-default elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-d823f2c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d823f2c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-f73cd0b\" data-id=\"f73cd0b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-706282f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"706282f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Tse believes that pain management education should also be provided outside clinical settings, to the public in general and to nursing home residents in particular. She led a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/1660-4601\/17\/11\/4090\">study<\/a> training over 100 adults at the lower end of older age, from 50 years and above, to serve as peer volunteers and visit nursing home residents to carry out a 12 week pain management programme. The peer volunteers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/1660-4601\/16\/17\/3097\">expressed positive views<\/a> of their experience of helping nursing home residents, while older adults reported lower pain ratings and improved quality of life.<\/p><p>Tse has turned images of Hong Kong landscapes into a distraction from chronic pain. In the <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.gerinurse.2024.10.027\">photo-with-movement<\/a> programme. participants were invited into a sensory experience combining images, and invitations to move, learn and remember. The photographs set the stage for an exercise regimen, and pain education, with follow-up by a messaging app to provide the necessary nudges to maintain the activity. She also designed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/09581596.2025.2516029\">gamified web-based pain management programme<\/a> where older adults played simple online games that taught breathing exercises and self-care strategies, and saw their pain severity and interference drop over just four weeks.<\/p><p>For older adults already suffering from chronic pain, it is the patient-caregiver dyad that needs support, not just the patent alone. In one <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/17581869.2025.2467614\">study<\/a>, older adults with more severe pain and emotional distress were more likely to let to heavier burden for their caregivers, showing how pain radiates outward into family life rather than remaining with the patient alone.<\/p><p>Tse devised a <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/healthcare14040553\">cluster randomized controlled trial<\/a> to test out a dyadic pain management program for community-dwelling older adults suffering from chronic pain. \u201cWe ran workshops for the caregivers,\u201d she explains, \u201cincluding pain management by medication and by exercise. But it also focused on communication, because often older adults in pain express it by anger and we gave the carers an opportunity to talk about the emotional burden of dealing with somebody that you love who&#8217;s in pain.\u201d The <a href=\"https:\/\/primerascientific.com\/journals\/psmph\/PSMPH-04-142\">research<\/a> was done in cooperation with a community centre, was focused on caregivers' \u00a0needs, and presented in layman's terms. Participants went home with a follow-up plan, and received reminders via a messaging app to do the exercises at home. The study found that caregiver stress was reduced.<\/p><p>Pain is a universal experience, but different segments of the population face it differently. For example, Tse is now working with one of her PhD students on using gamification in pain management education for young adults. The benefits of outdoor exercise, weight training and good posture in preventing back pain are well known, but getting young adults to adopt these habits is challenging. \u201cSo, the thinking is, we can use a game, where, for example if you walk in sunshine for 10 minutes you get a token, and will enter the next level of the game, or the key to open the door of a virtual escape room is exercise,\u201d Tse says.<\/p><p>Tse has also conducted research in mainland China, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.gerinurse.2024.04.008\">review<\/a> of activities such as Qigong, mindfulness, massage, and exercise. Tse's research suggests that some of the most effective pain care does not fight the body like an enemy; rather, it teaches the body a new language of movement. Survey <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.pmn.2025.09.009\">findings<\/a> on chronic pain in mainland China that Tse worked on confirmed Tse's instinct that there are important differences in people's experience of pain, according to factors such as sex, income, education, and pain beliefs. People's subjective experience of pain is filtered through culture, work, pride, fear, expectation, and the stories people tell themselves about what pain means.<\/p><p>With rapid advances in technology, for Tse, pain management has come a long way since her days as a nursing student. However, what has not changed is the central focus of her work: what can I do to help make the pain easier to bear?<\/p><p>Contact Mimi Tse Mun Yee: <a href=\"https:\/\/scholars.hkmu.edu.hk\/en\/persons\/mun-yee-mimi-tse\">https:\/\/scholars.hkmu.edu.hk\/en\/persons\/mun-yee-mimi-tse<\/a><\/p><p>Written by: Dr Jane Parry, Adjunct Assistant Professor and Advisor<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-567909a elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"567909a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Impact Stories: Research for Real Life The Art and Science of NON-pharmacological Pain ManagementDistraction using music, exercise and the sights and \u00a0sounds of nature can give nurses and other caregivers additional tools beyond medication to help people cope with pain.Key takeawaysPain management is challenging, and calls for tools that can enhance the impact of medication.Distraction...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":564,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_expiration-date-status":"","_expiration-date":0,"_expiration-date-type":"","_expiration-date-categories":[],"_expiration-date-options":[]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.3 (Yoast SEO v21.2) -
