This book was released on 2018 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people have encountered pain at some point in their lives. It is a very common complaint nurses hear from patients. When assessing patients, nurses are taught to take what the patient says as his or her pain level as fact. Pain is not a vital sign that can be measured with medical equipment like temperature or blood pressure. Therefore, many nurses find assessing pain challenging. Adding to the complexity of pain management is the current opioid crisis. To help combat some of these issues, the project leader worked with healthcare administrators at a regional teaching hospital in the southeastern United States to create pain assessment and pain management classes for nurses in the new hire nurse residency program. The purpose of the scholarly project was to measure at least 20 registered nurses’ knowledge and attitudes in a new RN graduate residency program regarding pain management. The study was conducted using a quasi-experimental approach to collect and analyze the results of the pre-test and post-test data. A modified version of the “Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain” (KASRP) by the City of Hope was used as the tool to collect data from the participants. There were 32 participants who completed the study. Using descriptive statistics and t-test comparison of the pre-test and post-test data, it can be concluded the educational session was beneficial to the nurses and helped improve their knowledge and attitudes about pain management. The data also supports the need to disseminate the educational sessions to all nurses within the healthcare system.

Download or read book Nursing Students Knowledge and Attitudes Regarding Pain and Pain Management written by Ruth L. Schaffler and published by . 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pain is a complex phenomenon with physiological, emotional, cognitive and social aspects. As the healthcare professional who spends most time with the patients, nurses are in a unique position to assess, implement and re-evaluate effective pain relief. Despite increased knowledge of pain and pain management in the last few decades, research repeatedly shows inadequate pain management and continuing suffering for patients in pain. In 2010, the Department of Health announced that health professionals must assess, plan, implement, evaluate and revise pain prevention and management according to each individual's needs, and that education be made available in order to equip all those delivering care with the required skills to do so. -- This integrative review of the research set out to explore nurses' knowledge and attitudes regarding pain and barriers and facilitators to these. The aim was to identify factors behind the inadequacy in pain assessment and pain management and to gain insight into what is needed to enable nurses to perform adequate pain assessment and pain management. -- The research process undertaken involved a systematic search of the literature, using four databases, four journal searches, ancestry searching and web searches. Thirteen papers were chosen and critically appraised. A thematic approach was used to analyse the findings, and six themes emerged; pain assessment, pharmacological knowledge, incongruence between theoretical knowledge and behaviour in practice, attitudinal influences, organisational barriers and perceived quality of pain management. -- Many of the studies highlighted clear deficits in knowledge and attitudes, in particular with regards to assessment, pharmacological knowledge and confidence in being the driving force behind pain management strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The under-treatment of pain is a problematic area for hospitalized patients nationwide. Pain diminishes a person's quality of life and this issue can be of great concern to healthcare personnel. The purpose of this study was to explore nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards pain and pain management. Fifty nurses from various practice areas participated in the survey that included a demographic data form and the Knowledge and Attitudes Regarding Pain Management questionnaire. A literature review was conducted to review and explore nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards pain and pain management. This provided empirical evidence of nurses' assessment and documentation behaviors, potential knowledge and attitude deficits, assessed the effectiveness of pain intervention, and provided evidence of personal and systematic barriers to effective pain management. Patricia Benner's Novice to Expert Model provided the framework for the study. The investigator used a quantitative approach of descriptive research, and a correlational study design to examine relationship among the demographic data and the actual knowledge of registered nurses who practice in a variety of acute care settings. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 18 was utilized for data analysis. The results of the study indicated that there are deficits in nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards pain and pain management. Specifically, knowledge deficits were seen in analgesic dosing, analgesic ceiling dose of opioids and discerning addiction from tolerance and physical dependence. Strengths were indicated in physiology and planning.
Download or read book Assessment of Nurses Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Pain Management written by Robin Johnson Sherrill and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of current literature reveals that nurses continue to have knowledge deficits and ongoing negative attitudes toward pain management. Nurses who are at the forefront in patient care need the appropriate skills, knowledge, and attitudes in pain assessment and management in order to provide optimal patient care. The purpose of this study was to assess the current level of nursing knowledge and attitudes toward pain management. Benner's continuum of novice to expert was used to determine if there is a relationship between level of education, years of experience, perceived level of expertise and nurses' knowledge and attitudes toward pain management. Pain Management Principles Assessment Tool and the Nurses' Pain Management Attitude Survey, two descriptive surveys, were used to survey nurses' knowledge and attitudes toward pain management. Results revealed no correlation between years of experience, level of education, knowledge or attitudes toward pain management. A positive correlation was identified between the nurses' perceived level of expertise according to Benner's levels with attitudes but no correlation with knowledge. In other words, this indicates the nurses who perceived themselves higher on Benner's continuum of novice to expert had a more positive attitude but not more knowledge.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT Insufficient pain management continues to be problematic for hospitalized patients throughout the country. It significantly interferes with a person's quality of life making it an issue of great concern to nurses in any setting. However, nurses do not do a good job of managing pain. The purpose of this evaluation was to assess graduate nursing students' knowledge and attitudes toward pain management. Forty (n=40) graduate nursing students were asked to participate in the evaluation. All students agreed and completed the Demographic Data Form, Nurses Attitude Survey and the Pain Management and Principles Assessment. Thirty-eight females and two males participated in this study. The mean age was 35 years old (SD=9.77) with a range between 24 and 62. The majority of the participants were Non-Hispanic white (70%), followed by African American (10%), Hispanic (10%), Asian and others. The mean years of nursing experience was 10 years with a standard deviation 7.31. The data showed that nursing students demonstrated inadequate knowledge regarding pain management. The mean score on the PMPAT was 66% (SD= 3.61). The mean score on the Nurse Attitude Survey was 77 (SD=5.8) on a survey with scores that could range from 25 to 100. The higher the score the more favorable that nurse is towards pain management. The scores ranged from 69 to 91. Knowledge and attitude scores had room for improvement, suggesting that the curriculum of the college could be improved. In addition, continuing education courses could be developed to support nurses' knowledge of pain management.
