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.

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: In many clinical settings, nurses have a vital role in pain assessment and titration of opioid doses. Surveys of nurses have revealed knowledge deficits in these areas that are thought to contribute to under treatment of pain. The present study surveys nurses' knowledge and attitudes about assessment and treatment of pain and confirms that nurses continue the under treatment of pain. As shown in previous studies, nurses may be more influenced by the patient's behavior than the patient's self-report of pain, especially in relation to decisions about opioid administration. Nurses are less likely to manage a previously safe but ineffective dose of opioid for a smiling patient than a grimacing patient. Survey results reveal a tendency for nurses' personal opinions and lack of understanding about the patients' pain, rather than their assessments, to influence choice of opioid dose and to contribute to insufficiency of managing pain. A quantitative study was used. Postoperative nurses were recruited from a large academic medical center. Data was collected on nurses' knowledge of pain management using the Nurses' Knowledge and Attitudes Survey, on perceived barriers to pain. The overall average correct response rate for the knowledge scale was 72.2 percent, indicating poor knowledge of pain management. Knowledge of pain management was significantly and negatively related to perceived barriers to pain management. Knowledge of pain was not correlated by nurses' education level or years of experience. The results indicated a need to strengthen pain education. Pain education should target knowledge deficits and barriers to changing pain management approaches for all nurses.

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 Knowledge and Attitude of Nurses in a New RN Graduate Residency Program Regarding Pain Management written by Kathryn Wampole and published by . 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.
