Hampton SB, Cavalier J, Langford R. The influence of race and gender on pain management: a systematic literature review. Pain Manag Nurs. 2015;16(6):968-977. doi:10.1016/j.pmn.2015.06.009.
This review explored the relationship between providers, health disparities and pain. Existing research has focused on how patient-provider interactions influence patient outcomes, satisfaction, adherence, and disparities. The authors note that future research should investigate how the interpersonal, therapeutic relationship between nurses and patients contribute to nursing care decisions and the provision of culturally competent care.
