Descriptive Summary
Repository: University of Virginia School of Nursing, Center for Nursing Historical Inquiry.
Title: American Society for Pain Management Nursing Collection.
Physical Characteristics: 3.5 linear feet; 8 boxes.
Language: English.
Collector: The Society.
The American Society for Pain Management Nursing (ASPMN) Collection comprises materials generated by and for the Society from its founding in 1990 to 2010. Of principal interest are the materials produced for every ASPMN annual meeting, which include statements of the Society's purpose and philosophy, information on its organizational structure, and copies of speakers' presentations. Taken together, these talks exhibit the range of issues pain management nurses confront, show the evolution of ideas relative to pain management, and trace the establishment of standards of practice for the profession over this twenty-year period. Related are a series of position statements published by the ASPMN concerning topics such as pain relief for neonatal circumcision, assessment of pain in non-verbal patients, the ethics of placebos, and the problems of addiction and abuse of pain medications. Copies of Society course materials for continuing education and published standards of practice reflect the Society's efforts to educate, unify, and professionalize the discipline of pain management, while the printed versions of the ASPMN newsletter, "Pathways," contain chapter and national organization news, essays, advocacy, book reviews, and profiles of prominent members, among other topics.
In addition to these more public materials is a partial set of administrative records. These include bound record-books that combine various meeting agenda, minutes, correspondence, and related items from the early 1990s; also present from the same period are sheets of financial accounts. Board of Directors' meeting minutes (to 2003) and business meeting minutes (to 2006) are present with some significant gaps in coverage. Correspondence files are quite limited, likely reflecting the much more extensive use of electronic communications during this period, none of which is preserved here. Three digital video discs are filed with the collection; these contain digital versions of (1) the 2006 and (2) the 2008 annual meeting materials, and (3) a collection of digital images taken at the 2007 and 2008 meetings.
Series Description
The ASPMN Collection is arranged alphabetically by subject heading and subheadings, under which individual items follow a chronological ordering. The subject-heading folders follow an introductory folder on the origination of the Society, then proceed to: 1) Awards given by the Society; 2) Bylaws; 3) Correspondence; 4) Directories of members and leadership; 5) Financial records; 6) Meetings, including the annual meeting, board of directors' meetings, and business meetings; 7) Miscellaneous items; 8) Obituary of a member; 9) Presentations, evidently not given at the annual meeting; 10) Publications of the Society; 11) Reports, including those produced by consultants for the Society and those generated from within the organization; and 12) Strategic Planning materials. These folders fill seven manuscript boxes. A final box contains artifacts and non-print media.

Historical Sketch
While the desire to relieve pain has long been a component of health care, it was not until the closing decades of the twentieth century that pain management began to develop as a professional field of study, research, and practice. In 1977 an interdisciplinary group of physicians and other interested parties formed the American Pain Society (APS), but nurses involved in pain management came to need a national voice for their own special concerns. In March of 1990, seven registered nurses met in Atlanta, Georgia, to discuss the merits of forming a national organization specifically directed to the interests and objectives of pain management nursing. To this end, the seven nurses -- Georgeann Abraham, of California; Chris Pasero, of Louisana; Linda Preble, of Connecticut; Barbara Reed, of Georgia; Sherry Sosna and Gwen Turnage, of Missouri; and Lorie Wild, of Washington -- founded the American Society of Pain Management Nurses. The founders immediately undertook planning for an annual educational meeting to promote contacts among nurses involved in pain management and to provide a venue for professional development. Interest spread rapidly not only through the nursing community but also among other professional organizations, including the APS, and among corporations trading in the pain field, a number of whom supported the fledgling organization. In just over two-and-a-half years, membership grew to over five-hundred members. Annual meetings have been held every year since 1991. The ASPMN modified its name in 2004 to the American Society for Pain Management Nursing, to reflect a wider calling among its members. Today the Society continues to advance high-quality, professional pain management care through its conferences and courses, and through the pain-management certification program. The ASPMN endorses universal access to quality care, encourages public awareness and self-advocacy for pain management issues, ensures ready availability of scholarly resources and best-practice standards for professionals, and safeguards the professional status of certified pain management nurses as members of larger healthcare teams.
