Trauma is defined as injuries to tissue and organs resulting from mechanical, thermal, chemical, or electrical mechanisms. There is evidence to suggest that patients admitted to hospital for their injuries do not adhere to prescribed analgesic regimens once discharged; however, the causes and potential solutions of this have not been fully explored. Patients who have inadequate pain relief also experience delayed return to work, psychological stress, disability, and chronic pain. Objectives: To identify causes of and solutions to analgesic regimen nonadherence in recently discharged trauma patients.
