Factors Affecting the Knowledge Level and Attitudes of Nurses about Pain Management

Öz

Objective: The aim of this descriptive study was to determine the factors affecting the knowledge levels and attitudes of the nurses about the pain management. Material and Methods: Study population was nurses which work in medical, surgical and intensive care units of a public hospital. A total of 79 nurses were included in the study. Data were collected with a standardized questionnaire extracted from the current literature called “Nurses’ Demographics Form”, “Nurses’ Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain”, and “Applying Interventions Against Pain Form”. Results: 48.1% of the nurses who participated to the study were between 31-40 years old, 41.8% of them had associate’s degree, 34.2% of them had +16 years of occupational experience. 59.5% of the nurses were working as clinic nurses and 67.1% of them had not attended any course/training on pain management. There was no statistically significant association between knowledge level and age, educational degree, working department, and occupational experience (p>0.05). The most common interventions used against to pain were determined as “to inform other nurses after duty (88.6%)” and “to locate the pain (73.1%)”. 48.1% of the nurses were stated that they had never administered pharmacological agents to the epidural-intrathecal cavity with an epidural catheter to reduce pain. Conclusions: It was concluded that the knowledge level of the nurses on pain management was inadequate. It was seen that the knowledge level was not related to age, education level, working experience, and previous education status on pain management.
