Abstract

Background: Healthcare professionals deliver pain education, yet their perception of pain experiences is not well understood, which can affect their interactions with patients in pain.

Objective: This study explored Korean healthcare professionals' perceptions of the usefulness of assessing pain concepts and beliefs and the importance of domains identified in the pain literature.

Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study employed an online survey administered to nurses, physical therapists, and physicians, including the Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire, Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, and related optional open-ended questions.

Results: Most participants acknowledged the importance and usefulness of assessing understanding of pain concepts but anticipated patients' difficulty comprehending items assessing biological mechanisms underlying pain. Participants questioned the items' accuracy, indicating their limited pain knowledge and the necessity of reducing literacy demands. The critical domains of pain education were learning about pain, external factors influencing pain, and pain as a form of protection.

Conclusion: Participants had suboptimal pain knowledge but emphasized decreasing literacy demands of pain neurophysiology items. Additionally, it is necessary to develop and implement a pain education program to improve pain-related knowledge and provide educational content for healthcare professionals encountering patients in pain.

评估医护人员对疼痛概念和信念的看法。

背景：医护人员提供疼痛教育，但他们对疼痛体验的感知却不甚了解，这可能会影响他们与疼痛患者的互动：医护人员提供疼痛教育，但他们对疼痛体验的感知却不甚了解，这可能会影响他们与疼痛患者的互动：本研究探讨了韩国医护人员对评估疼痛概念和信念的有用性以及疼痛文献中确定的领域的重要性的看法：这项描述性横断面研究采用了一项在线调查，调查对象包括护士、理疗师和医生，内容包括疼痛神经生理学问卷、坦帕运动恐惧症量表以及相关的开放式选题：大多数参与者承认评估对疼痛概念理解的重要性和实用性，但预计患者难以理解评估疼痛生物机制的项目。参与者对项目的准确性提出了质疑，这表明他们的疼痛知识有限，有必要降低对读写能力的要求。疼痛教育的关键领域是了解疼痛、影响疼痛的外部因素以及疼痛作为一种保护形式：结论：受试者对疼痛的了解程度不够理想，但他们强调要降低对疼痛神经生理学项目的识字要求。此外，有必要制定和实施疼痛教育计划，以提高疼痛相关知识，并为遇到疼痛患者的医护人员提供教育内容。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
