Description

Andréanne Bernier and co-authors present a 2026 mixed-methods study on giving nurses a bigger role in chronic pain care in Canadian primary care. Chronic pain affects one in five Canadians, yet nurses are barely involved in managing it. The study paired a ranking exercise with focus group talks, working with two patient partners.

The ranking, called a Delphi study, listed which nursing tasks mattered most, while groups of nurses described barriers and supports. A wide gap stood between the tasks nurses should do and what they actually do now. The authors propose two moves: build nurses' skills with tools, training, and guidance, and win backing from patients, providers, and managers.
