Abstract

Background: The prevalence of pain among cancer patients vary in the cancer trajectory and nurses will encounter patients with cancers who may experience pain. Nurses routinely need to assess and manage pain to deliver quality care.

Aim and method: The study aims to understand the knowledge and attitudes of nurses towards pain management using the self-administered questionnaire-the Knowledge and Attitude Survey Regarding Pain (KASRP).

Findings: Some 80 nurses participated in the study with an average overall KASRP score of 56%. Areas that were poorly answered are related to the knowledge about opioids, assessment of pain and management of pain in different scenarios. Factors like nurse-patient relationships and being unfamiliar with opioids may affect the knowledge and attitude of nurses towards pain management.

Conclusion: Curriculum on pain management needs to consider strategies to help nurses translate knowledge to bedside clinical teaching. It needs to include facts of pain management, and topics regarding self-awareness and clarifying misconceptions.

利用有关疼痛工具的知识和态度调查评估护士的疼痛管理。

背景：癌症患者的疼痛发生率在癌症发展过程中各不相同，护士会遇到可能经历疼痛的癌症患者。护士需要对疼痛进行常规评估和管理，以提供优质护理服务：研究旨在通过自制问卷--疼痛知识和态度调查（KASRP）了解护士对疼痛管理的知识和态度：约有 80 名护士参与了研究，KASRP 的平均总得分为 56%。回答较差的领域涉及阿片类药物知识、疼痛评估和不同情况下的疼痛管理。护患关系和不熟悉阿片类药物等因素可能会影响护士对疼痛管理的知识和态度：疼痛管理课程需要考虑帮助护士将知识转化为床边临床教学的策略。它需要包括疼痛管理的事实，以及有关自我意识和澄清误解的主题。
