序三

It is with great pleasure that I introduce this valuable resource for Health Professionals written by Associate Professors Yingge Tong and Suming Tian.They have brought great experience of contemporary Pain Medicine practice gained through over a decade of close collaboration and educational exchange with Australian Pain Medicine colleagues, both in China and in Australia.

我感到很荣幸能向各位医务工作者介绍这本由童莺歌副教授和田素明医师主编的高品质专业书籍。他们两位在过去的十年间与澳大利亚的疼痛医学同道们有着紧密的合作及交流，他们无论在澳大利亚还是中国的当代疼痛医学领域，都称得上实践经验丰富。

The practice of Pain Medicine has flourished over the last decade.The advent of many new medications have revolutionized pain pharmacotherapy as well as reducing previously heavy reliance on opioids.Pain pharmacotherapy has also assumed a new role in juxtaposition to non pharmacological therapies with the result that patients are now more successfully managed with a biopsychosocial approach.Staff caring for hospital inpatients and outpatients are better able to enquire about pain intensity and interpret how function, sleep, mood and personal relationships can influence pain.In addition to this, health professionals from multiple disciplines are better able to assess pain and collaborate to provide more focused multidisciplinary assessments that form the basis for better pain management.

疼痛医学在过去的十年间得到了快速发展。许多新药的问世颠覆了疼痛的药物治疗方法，同时也降低了以往疼痛治疗过程中对阿片类药物的高度依赖性。当前，在疼痛的治疗中，非药物干预被提到了与药物干预同等重要的位置，生物、心理、社会干预方法在患者中也得到了更成功的应用。门诊及住院患者的照护者能更恰当地评估患者的疼痛强度，并更透彻地理解患者的功能状况、睡眠、情绪及人际关系对疼痛的影响。此外，多学科合作不仅有助于更好地评估患者的疼痛，而且有助于提供以多学科疼痛评估为基础的更好的疼痛管理。

Yingge Tong and Suming Tian's book has reflected all of these important advances in the assessment and management of patients affected by pain with the result that health professionals in China are now able to access up to date information.The 11 chapters cover anatomy, physiology, evaluation, pharmacotherapy, nonpharmacologic therapy as relates to nursing, as well as pain in the postoperative period, cancer and cancer related chronic

由童莺歌和田素明主编的本书已囊括了疼痛评估和治疗领域的所有上述重要进展。阅读此书，有助于中国的医务人员获得最新的信息。本书共有11章，包括了与疼痛护理相关的解剖、生理、评估、药物治疗、非药物干预知识，以及术后疼痛、癌症和非癌症慢性疼痛的护理。

It is exciting to contemplate the impact that this modern resource will have for the practice of Pain Medicine in China, disseminating the wealth of experience of these dynamic Authors.

本书是中国疼痛护理实践的最新资源；通过本书，编写团队将与读者们分享他们在疼痛管理方面的丰富经验。考虑到本书将带给中国疼痛护理的积极影响，令人备受鼓舞。
