Perceptions of nurses and physicians regarding pain management of pediatric emergency room patients
Purpose:
To explore perceptions of pain and pain management by nurses and physicians who care for pediatric emergency room patients.
Method:
A descriptive survey design using the Adapted Klein Premedication Questionnaire explored the attitudes and practices of 24 nurses and 21 physicians about children's pain in the emergency setting.
Results:
The majority of nurses and physicians who care for pediatric emergency room patients would medicate children experiencing pain. Both groups perceived pain in children the same way. There was a lack of knowledge in both groups regarding the appropriate dosages of pain medications.
Conclusions:
Nurses and physicians need a stronger knowledge base regarding pain management practices.
