This book was released on 2016 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project was designed and executed to investigate the potential correlation between increased nursing knowledge on pain management and effective pain control in the acute care setting. The process included creating a convenience sample of ED nurses at one community based hospital to receive directed education on pain and pain management. These volunteer nurses were given a pretest in the form of the Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain (KASPR) to assess baseline knowledge. Concurrently, a retrospective chart review was conducted to record patient reported pain values from triage and discharge. Next, an educational program was conducted to provide increased awareness on various topics related to pain management. When all nurses within the sample had completed the education, a post test was conducted again utilizing the KASPR instrument. Lastly a second retrospective chart review was conducted to collect post education data on pain scores in triage and discharge. Analysis looked at the mean change in pain related to the mean change in nursing knowledge. Using Spearman's rho the results showed a complete lack of correlation between nursing education and changes in pain with an r(8) = .08 on a scale of -1 to 1 and a significance level of .826 with a set p > .05.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is estimated that seventy-three million patients undergo surgical procedures each year in the United States. Of these, 80% experience acute post-operative pain and approximately 20% experience severe pain. Benner's Theory from Novice to Expert was used to guide the study, "Evaluating the Knowledge and Attitudes Regarding Pain Management among Nurses in a Surgical Setting at an Acute Care Facility". A convenience sample of twenty-one nurses in an acute care hospital in southwestern North Carolina participated in the Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain. Results showed a weak correlation between knowledge and attitudes of pain management and years of experience (r=0.368). A weak correlation was also found between knowledge and attitudes of pain management and level of education (r=0.245).

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acute pain management continues to be an ongoing challenge faced by healthcare professionals in the acute setting. The incidence of pain has remains high with an estimated 75% of patients reporting moderate to severe pain in the acute setting, this has remained unchanged since the 1950's. Throughout the literature it is felt that this is largely due to a lack of knowledge and misconceptions regarding assessment and management of pain by all healthcare professionals. A modified version of McCafferty & Ferrell Knowledge and Attitudes survey was used to evaluate nursing staff current level of knowledge and attitudes towards pain assessment and management. A baseline audit was performed and following the results a bespoke education plan was delivered to registered nurses across the District General Hospital. The survey was then repeated to evaluate the impact of the educational interventions. 58 surveys were completed in the base line audit and a further 65 were completed following educational interventions. The mean knowledge score increased from 73% to 76% following educational interventions, individual question analysis also reviled a significant improvement across questions relating to pharmacology, pain assessment and belief in patient's report of pain improved. This audit has allowed for the identification of knowledge gaps and following educational intervention it was possible to change and challenge long held misconceptions regarding pain assessment and management. Even though there was a small improvement in mean knowledge score there was a significant improved seen in individual question analysis.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this investigation was to explore the relationship between pain assessment and medication decisions made by critical care nurses and to identify nurses' knowledge and concerns about the use of opioid analgesics. A descriptive design was used to study the relationship between the independent variables; nurses' fears of opioid addiction and respiratory depression and the dependent variable; the undermedication of critical care patients experiencing pain. Fifty-two critical care nurses were given a self-administered questionnaire consisting of clinical vignettes and objective multiple choice questions that evoked data on knowledge and attitudes toward analgesic medications and how these attitudes affected their decisions in medicating critical care patients in pain. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics which were calculated and translated into percentages. The results of the data analysis suggest that critical care nurses who fear that opioid analgesics will cause addiction and/or respiratory depression are influenced in their decision making process when giving opioid analgesic medications. This study is significant for educators and practitioners alike, since it suggests that education is needed in the areas of pharmacology and pain relief. The relief of pain is a basic responsibility of the nurse. Based on the results, it is recommended that any replication of the study test a larger population of nurses at different sampling sites. The need for pain management programs for all nurses is clearly indicated.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pain is a universal human experience and is a primary reason people seek health care; however, undertreatment of pain has been reported in the literature as a significant clinical problem for more than three decades. Researchers have concluded that nurses have inadequate knowledge of pain assessment, are misinformed about opioids, and have inappropriate attitudes about pain and pain management that lead to the undertreatment of pain. One question is whether those misconceptions are acquired in nursing school or whether they are present when students enroll in nursing programs. The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to examine the attitudes regarding pain and pain management among entry-level nursing students. Eighty-nine nursing students were recruited from two baccalaureate nursing programs and divided into control and experimental groups. An educational intervention relating to pain was provided to students in the experimental group. Ajzen's (1991) Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) served as the theoretical framework to measure attitudes about pain and to predict whether nursing students would administer opioid analgesics to patients experiencing pain. The survey instruments consisted of the Pain Survey and the Pain Management Survey developed by Edwards et al. (2001). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze and compare pretest and posttest data. Results indicated that students have misconceptions about pain and the administration of opioid analgesics similar to the general population. However, overall attitudes toward pain and pain management were positive. The TPB constructs accurately predicted nursing students' intentions to administer opioid analgesia to patients experiencing pain.

Download or read book Baseline Assessment of Knowledge and Attitudes Regarding Pain of Nurses in a Comprehensive Cancer Center written by Gloria Spencer and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pain management outcomes for hospitalized patients are often inadequate. One explanation validated in the literature is inadequate pain management by nurses due to a lack of knowledge and their negative attitudes. The purpose of this study was to analyze data from oncology nurses in a large academic cancer center regarding their knowledge and attitudes about pain. United States hospitals are feeling the pressure associated with Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey scores on pain management due to its effect on Medicare/Medicaid facilities’ reimbursement. In this study, The Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain, developed by Ferrell and McCaffery (2012), plus 11 demographic items were used to survey a sample of 383 registered nurses involved in direct patient care. Archival data analysis included t-testing to compare scores between (inpatient and outpatient) nursing groups and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) testing compared scores among more than two groups. The mean score for all participants calculated as a percentage correct answers for all questions, was 68.38% which is below the passing score of 70%. Scores differed significantly based on the nurse’ age, current position, location of education, and certification status. The results concur with the findings in the literature and support the idea that this facility’s nurses need further education about pain and its management. This is the critical first step of designing an effective customized program for this facility that will allow nurses to provide optimal pain management for cancer patients.

Sutherland and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Chronic pain significantly impacts individuals physically, emotionally, and financially. The management of chronic pain is a complex, multi-faceted issue that includes the risk of opioid addiction and often requires a multi-disciplinary approach. Despite the numerous available treatment options, the number of patients requiring pain medications has continuously increased along with doubling overdose cases. Lack of knowledge and confidence of providers to manage chronic pain effectively and safely have been identified as barriers to poor patient outcomes in this population. Appraisal of the curriculum for healthcare providers, including family nurse practitioners (FNP), identified gaps in pain management content, including addressing various modalities to support successful pain management and appropriate risk mitigation strategies for safe prescribing practices. Purposes/Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group pre-test/post-test study was conducted to evaluate the effects of a 4-hour didactic and hands-on educational session on FNP students’ knowledge and attitude regarding chronic pain management. The effects of the educational session were measured using a modified Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain (KASRP) at both pre- and post-intervention. A paired, two-tailed t-test evaluated the effect of the educational session with a p-value
