Data were collected using the Student Information Form and the The Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain - Nurse (KASRP-N) and evaluated using percentage, mean, Kruskal-Wall, Mann-Whitney U test, and Thamne’s T2 tests. The mean score of the students on the KASRP-N scale was 13.48±3.60 and the rate of correct responses to the scale questions was evaluated as poor with 34.5%. It was found that there was a significant difference between the KASRP-N total scale scores and the variables of the grade, receiving training on pain management in any course before, and the most common type of pain experienced (p <0.05). It was determined that the students did not have sufficient knowledge and a positive attitude about pain management. It may be recommended to include more structured and standardised pain management education with evidence-based information in the undergraduate nursing curriculum and to use different teaching methods.}, number={1}, publisher={Fenerbahçe University}, organization={yok}
