Improvement in Nurses' Knowledge of Subcutaneous Catheter Use for Pain Management
Background:
Nurses often have insufficient knowledge of subcutaneous catheter use for pain management. This quality improvement project evaluated implementation of an evidence-based subcutaneous catheter nursing policy with education to improve pain management for hospitalized patients.
Method:
A convenience sample of nurses (N = 515) completed a posttest after online training on effective subcutaneous pain management. Patient pain ratings were assessed to evaluate whether they changed after nurses' training.
Results:
Posttest scores showed the online learning module effectively contributed to nurses' knowledge of subcutaneous catheter pain management. A statistically significant reduction occurred in patient pain ratings (p < .001) postintervention. The number of patients experiencing moderate or severe pain decreased by 58%, for a significant reduction in pain.
Conclusion:
An online learning module was successful in educating nurses on pain medication administration through an indwelling subcutaneous catheter. [.
