Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Pain Management
  • Surgical Care

Background:

  • Effective management of acute postoperative pain is crucial for surgical patient recovery.
  • Inadequate pain relief can lead to serious postoperative complications, including atelectasis, deep vein thrombosis, and delayed wound healing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess nurses' knowledge and attitudes concerning postoperative pain.
  • To evaluate the pain intensity experienced by postoperative patients.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot exploratory study was conducted at a large teaching hospital.
  • 31 nurses and 14 postoperative patients (gastrointestinal and urologic) were included.
  • Nurses' knowledge was measured using the Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain; patient pain intensity was assessed with the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ).

Main Results:

  • Nurses achieved a mean score of 69.3% on the pain knowledge and attitudes survey.
  • Postoperative patients reported moderate pain intensity, as measured by the SF-MPQ.

Conclusions:

  • There is a clear need to enhance nurses' knowledge and skills in postoperative pain management.
  • Improving pain assessment and management strategies is essential for better patient outcomes.
