Abstract:
Nursing students often have fear and anxiety about managing pain. The most common misconceptions include fear that patients in acute pain are easily addicted to pain medication, persons who are alert experience side effects from medication such as respiratory depression, and pain is inevitable and cannot completely be relieved. Cognitive restructuring is a method of changing behavior that focuses on identifying misconceptions, influencing distorted thinking, and thereby diminishing anxiety and promoting reasoned practice.
