Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Pain Management
  • Patient Education

Background:

  • Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) aims to empower patients in pain management.
  • Many patients experience inadequate pain relief due to insufficient knowledge of PCA therapy.
  • Addressing knowledge gaps is crucial for effective pain management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of structured preoperative teaching on patient knowledge and attitudes regarding PCA therapy.
  • To assess the effect of video-based education on patient pain control and satisfaction after surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A quasi-experimental study design was employed.
  • Patients received structured preoperative teaching, including video education.
  • Knowledge, attitudes, pain control, and satisfaction were measured.

Main Results:

  • Patients with structured preoperative teaching showed significantly higher knowledge of PCA therapy.
  • These patients also exhibited more positive attitudes toward pain medication use.
  • Video teaching led to improved pain control and satisfaction at 4 and 8 hours post-surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Structured preoperative education, particularly video-based, enhances patient understanding and acceptance of PCA therapy.
  • Effective patient education is vital for optimizing pain management outcomes following surgical procedures.
  • Improving patient knowledge can lead to better pain control and higher satisfaction levels.
