Aim: The aim of our study was to determine the levels of information and awareness of the nurses who work on neuropathic pain in the departments of physical medicine and rehabilitation, neurology and neurosurgery.
Material and Method: A total of 90 nurses (30 per each department) who work in the physical medicine and rehabilitation, neurology and neurosurgery departments of Necmettin Erbakan University Meram Medical Faculty, Selcuk University Selcuklu Medical Faculty, Konya Numune Hospital took part in the study. The level of information and awareness of the nurses on neuropathic pain were assessed via a questionnaire prepared by specialists in the light of recent literature. The questionnaire was composed of 30 questions including the definition, symptoms, treatment and management of neuropathic pain.

 Results: None of 90 nurses participating in the study were given any previous in-service training on neuropathic pain. According to the assessments, 80% of nurses (n=72) were found not to have sufficient knowledge about definition of neuropathic pain; 83.3% (n=75) about diseases causing neuropathic pain; 83.3% (n=75) about symptoms of neuropathic pain; and 90% (n=81) about management of neuropathic pain. The findings obtained from the nurses of these three departments showed no statistically significant relation.
Conclusion: Our findings indicated that the knowledge of participants’ about neuropathic pain who work in these three departments seriously lack of information. Informing nurses about neuropathic pain during in-service training will be an important step towards improving the quality of services provided.

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı, fiziksel tıp ve rehabilitasyon, nöroloji ve nöroşirürji bölümlerinde nöropatik ağrı üzerine çalışan hemşirelerin bilgi düzeylerini ve farkındalıklarını belirlemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi Meram Tıp Fakültesi, Selçuk Üniversitesi Selçuklu Tıp Fakültesi, Konya Numune Hastanesi Fiziksel Tıp ve Rehabilitasyon, Nöroloji ve Nöroşirürji bölümlerinde çalışan 90 hemşire (her bölüm için 30 hemşire) çalışmaya katılmıştır. Hemşirelerin nöropatik ağrı hakkındaki bilgi düzeyi ve farkındalığı, uzmanlar tarafından son literatür ışığında hazırlanan anket formu ile değerlendirildi. Anket, nöropatik ağrının tanımı, semptomları ve tedavisi dahil 30 sorudan oluşuyordu.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan 90 hemşirenin hiçbirine nöropatik ağrı konusunda herhangi bir hizmet içi eğitim verilmemişti. Değerlendirmelere göre, hemşirelerin %80’inin (n=72) nöropatik ağrının tanımı hakkında; %83,3 (n=75) nöropatik ağrıya yol açan hastalıklar hakkında; %83,3 (n=75) nöropatik ağrının semptomları hakkında; ve %90 (n=81) nöropatik ağrının tedavisi hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahip olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Hemşirelerin bölümleri ile bilgi düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki göstermedi.
Sonuç: Bulgularımız, her bu üç bölümde çalışan katılımcıların nöropatik ağrı hakkındaki bilgilerinin ciddi bir şekilde eksik olduğunu gösterdi. Hemşirelere nöropatik ağrı hakkında hizmet içi eğitim verilmesi, sunulan hizmetlerin kalitesinin artırılması yönünde önemli bir adım olacaktır.
