ABSTRACT
Introducción: El dolor tiene graves consecuencias emocionales, sociales y económicas para las personas que lo sufren, e incrementa por cinco la probabilidad de utilización de los servicios sanitarios. Por primera vez en España, la Consejería de Salud de la Junta de Andalucía ha puesto en marcha un Plan de Atención a las Personas con Dolor que pretende garantizar la atención integral de éstas, mejorando su calidad de vida y la atención de sus necesidades a lo largo de todo el proceso asistencial.

Este modelo se basa en un proceso a través del cual los profesionales verifican la proximidad entre sus competencias y buenas prácticas reales, y las definidas en sus correspondientes Manuales de Competencias. Objetivo: Este trabajo pretende describir los elementos relacionados con la atención a las personas con dolor, contenidos en los Manuales de Competencias y puestos de manifiesto por los profesionales que han alcanzado la acreditación de sus competencias mediante el Modelo de Acreditación del SSPA.
