Abstract

Objective: To assess the level of child and adolescent psychiatric staff's knowledge regarding pain management, to determine group differences between the medically more educated (physicians, nurses) and the less educated (psychologists, educators, special therapists) and to investigate the influence of gender, age, or professional experience as well as staff's own pain experiences.

Methods: A total of 193 staff members from different professional backgrounds from three independent child and adolescent psychiatry clinics in Northern Germany were tested using the German version of the Pediatric Nurses' Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain Shriner's revision (PNKAS-Sr).

Results: In total, the staff scored correctly 66% of the inventory questions. There was no difference between medically more educated and less educated staff members regarding the knowledge of pain management. The main factors influencing PNKAS score were age, profession, and pain education training.

Conclusions: Although chronic pain is not one of the main aspects of continuing education in child and adolescent psychiatry, the resulting level of knowledge was comparable to results of similar surveys with paediatric staffs. Nevertheless, further education is needed to enhance knowledge and understanding of children's pain in child psychiatry staff in order to professionally treat patients with chronic somatic and mental illnesses.

儿童和青少年精神病学工作人员的疼痛管理知识。

目的:评估儿童和青少年精神科工作人员对疼痛管理的知识水平，确定受教育程度较高(医生、护士)和受教育程度较低(心理学家、教育工作者、特殊治疗师)的群体差异，并调查性别、年龄、专业经验以及工作人员自身疼痛经历的影响。方法:对来自德国北部3家独立的儿童和青少年精神病学诊所的193名不同专业背景的工作人员进行德文版《儿科护士关于疼痛的认知和态度调查》(PNKAS-Sr)的测试。结果:总体上，员工答对了66%的问卷问题。在疼痛管理知识方面，受教育程度较高的工作人员与受教育程度较低的工作人员之间没有差异。影响PNKAS评分的主要因素为年龄、职业、疼痛教育培训。结论:虽然慢性疼痛不是儿童和青少年精神病学继续教育的主要方面之一，但所得到的知识水平与儿科工作人员的类似调查结果相当。然而，需要进一步教育儿童精神病学工作人员提高对儿童疼痛的认识和理解，以便专业地治疗慢性躯体和精神疾病患者。
