Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pain has been documented as a significant problem for patients suffering with cancer. The purpose of this study was to investigate evidence that suggests nursing knowledge and attitudes are the compounding factors that influence how effectively pain is managed. A survey of 29 registered nurses from a teaching hospital in the greater New York Metropolitan area was conducted to determine nursing knowledge and attitudes toward cancer pain management. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the Nurses Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Pain Management survey was utilized (Myers, 1985). Results revealed that the nurses in this study had a mean knowledge score of 13.93 out of a possible score of 20. The attitude portion of the survey score, were, 32.17 out of a possible score of 15-75. Both knowledge and attitude showed no positive correlation between nursing knowledge and attitudes toward cancer pain management. The current study reaffirmed the findings of previous studies, which, indicated that many nurses maintain a deficient knowledge of pain assessment intervention. The research design utilized was a non-experimental descriptive study. Imogene King's Theory for Nursing, which was employed as the theoretical framework to accumulate subsequent knowledge and better understand why nurses are not attaining the goal of pain management. Overall scores in this study on knowledge and attitude were much lower, compared to scores obtained by Myers in her study, even though the sample size used by this researcher was smaller. Recommendations include that further education is needed for nurses to increase knowledge about the patient suffering from cancer pain, and management needed to provide an optimal level of comfort for the patients in need of care.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The knowledge base and attitudes of nurses has been shown to impact the treatment of pain. The theoretical framework was Kolcaba's theory of comfort. A pretest-posttest descriptive study determined the changes in the knowledge base and attitudes of nurses toward pain management after participating in an active learning educational orientation program. Newly hired registered nurses from a large, Midwestern pediatric hospital were tested during their orientation program using Manworren's Pediatric Nurses' Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain. The post test results were compared to scores from a cohort having previously participated in a didactic teaching module. Fifty-three subjects participated in the study. Comparing the active learning pre- and post-test scores, no significant difference was found (p=0.385). Also, no significant difference was found between the didactic post-test scores and the active learning post-test scores (p=0.399).

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This direct practice improvement project investigated the effectiveness of an educational intervention on improving nurses' knowledge on the management of the pain related to cancer, thereby improving patient outcomes to be reflected in future Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems survey patient management satisfaction scores. Previous studies showed the effectiveness of educational intervention in improving knowledge. The literature identified the gap in nursing knowledge related to managing cancer-related pain resulting in patients with cancer suffering needless, additional pain. This project advances the current literature to support the use of educational interventions to improve nurses' knowledge and patient outcomes. This DPI project utilized a quantitative methodology with a pre- and post-test to measure nurses' knowledge. The tool that was utilized in this project to collect the pre- and post-intervention data is the Nursing Knowledge and Attitude Survey Regarding Pain Management. The sample was derived from the population of registered nurses working on the oncology unit of a community hospital in Miami, Florida with a total of 28 participants. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were utilized to analyze the data. The framework that guided this DPI project was Malcolm Knowles' principles of andragogy. The results of the educational intervention showed an increase in post-intervention scores. Pretest percentage correct (M=71.4, SD=6.4) and post-test percentage correct (M=96.2, SD=3.5) conditions; t (8) = 17.9901, p value is less than 0.0001. The findings were of statistical, practical and clinical importance. The results of this DPI project support the need for similar educational interventions for improving nurses' knowledge with the aim of improving cancer patients' satisfaction with their pain management.

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.
Download or read book Relieving Pain in America written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-10-26 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic pain costs the nation up to $635 billion each year in medical treatment and lost productivity. The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act required the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to enlist the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in examining pain as a public health problem. In this report, the IOM offers a blueprint for action in transforming prevention, care, education, and research, with the goal of providing relief for people with pain in America. To reach the vast multitude of people with various types of pain, the nation must adopt a population-level prevention and management strategy. The IOM recommends that HHS develop a comprehensive plan with specific goals, actions, and timeframes. Better data are needed to help shape efforts, especially on the groups of people currently underdiagnosed and undertreated, and the IOM encourages federal and state agencies and private organizations to accelerate the collection of data on pain incidence, prevalence, and treatments. Because pain varies from patient to patient, healthcare providers should increasingly aim at tailoring pain care to each person's experience, and self-management of pain should be promoted. In addition, because there are major gaps in knowledge about pain across health care and society alike, the IOM recommends that federal agencies and other stakeholders redesign education programs to bridge these gaps. Pain is a major driver for visits to physicians, a major reason for taking medications, a major cause of disability, and a key factor in quality of life and productivity. Given the burden of pain in human lives, dollars, and social consequences, relieving pain should be a national priority.
