#SeePainMoreClearlyCampaign
Funded by the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation and the Saskatchewan Centre of Patient Oriented Research and in partnership with national and provincial organizations (e.g: AGE-WELL Network of Centres of Excellence, Canadian Association of Gerontology, Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan), health care personnel, patients and family, researchers and health care administrators; we launched an international social media campaign #SeePainMoreClearly to increase awareness of the underassessment and undermanagement of pain in dementia by disseminating evidence-based findings and practices.
#SeePainMoreClearly Campaign Update
The #SeePainMoreClearly social media awareness campaign launched as an initial pilot project on Twitter in 2019. During its pilot phase, the campaign social media posts gathered over 5.7 million impressions in 5 months with the hashtag used in 31 countries. The initial pilot campaign fueled the team to successfully apply for funding support for the implementation and evaluation of a larger campaign involving a digital media partner. The second phase of the campaign was launched on October 1 2020 and expanded into a variety of social media platforms (e.g., Facebook Instagram). Over 23.6k people have visited https://www.seepainmoreclearly.org to find out more about pain in dementia and to offer their help by participating in the study about the impact of the campaign. https://www.seepainmoreclearly.org/participate-in-our-study
Many people have also visited the website to read the #SeePainMoreClearly blog, which features guest post articles from highly respected researchers, scientists, medical professionals, family members and caregivers of dementia patients, dementia sufferers and even an article in collaboration with award winning author Louise Penny. The top blog post has had over 2000 pageviews to date. The #SeePainMoreClearly team is grateful to all organisations that have supported their activities. These organisations include the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation, the Saskatchewan Centre for Patient Oriented Research, the AGE WELL Network of Centres of Excellence, the Chronic Pain Network, the Canadian Association in Gerontology, the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan, the University of Regina and others.

이용 과정이 간단하고 업무 설명이 명확해서 부담 없이 시작할 수유흥알바 관련 후기도 많아 참고하기 좋았고 실제 근무 환경도 설명과 비슷해 만족스러운 경험이었습니다.
집에서 편하게 받을 수 있다는 점이 가장 좋았습니다. 피로가 쌓인 인천출장마사지 상태였는데 오산출장마사지 서비스를 통해 긴장된 근육이 부드럽게 풀리면서 휴식의 질까지 좋아진 느낌입니다.

I read the story about the See Pain More Clearly campaign winning a national pain awareness award, and it shows how a group of researchers and caregivers worked together to bring attention to the problem of undermanaged pain in people with dementia and their families. The campaign used social media to reach many people and share real knowledge about pain assessment and care. I remember during a heavy study week, I searched for take my online hesi exam while trying to balance learning about health topics like this, and it helped me see how awareness and preparation both matter.
