Summary
Nursing staff use of pain management systems is influenced by information quality. High information quality and user satisfaction predict positive system benefits, enhancing patient care.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Nursing Informatics
- Information Systems Management
Background:
- Effective pain management is crucial in healthcare settings.
- Information systems play a vital role in supporting clinical decision-making and patient care.
- Understanding factors influencing the adoption and success of these systems is essential for optimizing their use.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify key factors influencing nursing staff's use of a pain management system.
- To evaluate the predictive capability of these factors on system benefits.
- To apply the information system success model to the context of nursing informatics.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the information system success model as a theoretical framework.
- Analyzed influencing factors on nursing staff's adoption of a pain management system.
- Assessed the predictive power of identified factors on system net benefits.
Main Results:
- Information quality emerged as the most significant influencing factor for system use.
- All examined factors demonstrated positive correlations with each other.
- Information quality and user satisfaction were identified as key predictors of net system benefits.
Conclusions:
- Information quality is paramount for the successful implementation and utilization of pain management systems by nurses.
- Positive correlations among factors suggest a synergistic effect in system adoption.
- The study provides a predictive model for assessing the net benefits of pain management information systems.

Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...
