    Area of Science:

    • Critical Care Medicine
    • Nursing Research
    • Pain Management

    Background:

    • Pain is a significant issue in adult critical care units.
    • Existing pain management protocols may not be evidence-based.
    • There is a need for improved pain assessment and management strategies in intensive care settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To implement and evaluate a research-based pain management protocol in adult critical care units.
    • To assess the impact of the protocol on patient pain levels and intensity.
    • To evaluate the effect of the protocol on nurses' knowledge and attitudes toward pain management.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a standardized, research-based pain management protocol.
    • Utilized quality assessment monitors to identify pain as a problem.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Conducted nurse surveys to assess knowledge and attitudes.
  • Provided staff education on the evidence base for the protocol.
  • Employed change champions and a core group of nurses to facilitate practice change.

    • Main Results:

    • A 41% decrease in the number of patients experiencing pain.
    • A 44% reduction in reported pain intensity.
    • Significant improvement in nurses' knowledge regarding pain management.

    Conclusions:

    • Implementing a research-based pain management protocol is effective in reducing pain in critical care.
    • The protocol improved nurses' knowledge, supporting successful research utilization.
    • Evidence-based practice changes can lead to improved patient outcomes in critical care settings.
