[Towards a pain-free hospital. A project and a campaign for the improvement of health care].
This article outlines the project entitled "Towards a Pain Free Hospital" which aims to make both citizens and health sector workers more aware of the problem of pain in hospitalised patients. The project is already under way in some countries and is being implemented in others. It has been introduced into the local Health Authority Hospital of Vicenza for the first time in Italy and will later be introduced into other Italian hospitals. The article deals with the various initiatives which make up the project and the methods used to involve those assisting the patient in pain.
