Summary
This bibliometric analysis reviews global nursing research on postoperative pain. It maps publication trends, identifies key themes, and highlights research gaps for future study.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Research
- Bibliometrics
- Pain Management
Background:
- Postoperative pain is a significant clinical concern.
- Nursing's role in managing postoperative pain requires a clear understanding of research trends.
- A comprehensive overview of the existing literature is needed to guide future research and practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of nursing research on postoperative pain.
- To provide a macroscopic overview of the characteristics and evolution of this research field.
- To identify key themes, prolific contributors, and research gaps in nursing literature on postoperative pain.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis using the Web of Science database (up to August 30, 2024).
- Utilized the "biblioshiny" application within the Bibliometrics R package for data analysis.
- Examined publication trends, authorship, collaboration patterns, and keyword analysis.
Main Results:
- 3,410 nursing articles on postoperative pain published in 976 sources (1975-2024).
- Top journals include Pain Management Nursing, Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing, and Journal of Clinical Nursing.
- Developed countries lead in publications and collaborations; identified research gaps in "education," "women," "mortality," "programme," and "rehabilitation."
Conclusions:
- This bibliometric study offers an integrative review of global nursing literature on postoperative pain.
- It maps the landscape of research, highlighting areas of strength and opportunities for advancement.
- The findings provide a foundation for future research directions in postoperative pain management within nursing.

01:25Analgesia and Pain Management
822
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...

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments...

01:15Nursing Evaluation
3.6K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
