Abstract

Aim

To determine the knowledge and attitudes of adult intensive care nurses regarding pain.

Method

This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 196 nurses working in the intensive care units of a tertiary university hospital between June 2022 and September 2022. Data were collected by face-to-face interview method, and the “Personal Information Form” and “Nurses’ Knowledge and Attitude Scale Regarding Pain” were used as data collection tools.

Results

About 71.8% of the nurses were between the ages of 18 and 30, 58.5% were women, 54.9% had a bachelor’s degree, and 55.1% had been working in intensive care for 0-5 years. The nurses' total knowledge and attitude score levels were 11.8% inadequate, 64.1% moderate, and 24.1% good. A statistically significant relationship was found between age, gender, receiving training on pain in the institution, satisfaction level with the unit in which one works, frequency of pain assessment and indicators taken into consideration when evaluating pain severity, and the total scale score average (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

The average pain knowledge and attitude scores of intensive care nurses are at a good level. Results can be further improved with planned training on pain.

确定成人重症监护护士与疼痛有关的知识和行为。

目的：了解成人重症监护护士对疼痛的认识和态度：这项描述性横断面研究的对象是 2022 年 6 月至 2022 年 9 月期间在一所三级大学医院重症监护病房工作的 196 名护士。采用面对面访谈法收集数据，并使用 "个人信息表 "和 "护士疼痛知识与态度量表 "作为数据收集工具：结果：约 71.8%的护士年龄在 18-30 岁之间，58.5%为女性，54.9%拥有学士学位，55.1%从事重症监护工作 0-5 年。护士的知识和态度总分分别为 11.8%不足、64.1%中等和 24.1%良好。研究发现，年龄、性别、在医疗机构接受的疼痛培训、对所在单位的满意度、疼痛评估频率和评估疼痛严重程度时考虑的指标与量表平均总分之间存在统计学意义上的重大关系（P < 0.05）：重症监护护士的疼痛知识和态度平均得分处于良好水平。结论：重症监护护士的疼痛知识和态度平均得分处于较好水平，通过有计划的疼痛培训可进一步改善结果。
