The knowledge and practices of nurses about pain management with non-pharmacological methods

Abstract

Aim: This study has been made in order to determine the knowledge and practices of the nurses about pain management 

with non-pharmacological methods. 

Material and Methods: 162 nurses who work in the medical and surgical clinics of a university Hospital have constituted 

the sample of the study. The data were collected through a questionnaire prepared by the researchers based on the 

literature.

Results: The point average of knowledge of nurses about the non-pharmacological methods which are used to pain 

management is 38.62 out of 92 points. %69.9 of the nurses has explained that they do not use the non-pharmacological 

methods to stop the pain of the patient.

Conclusion: The results of the study assert that the nurses apply non-pharmacological methods in low-levels which are 

used for pain management and their knowledge about these methods is insufficient. In accordance with these results 

it is recommended to give more space for teaching the non-pharmacological methods that can be applied for pain 

management and to make appropriate repetitions.
