Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of education regarding postoperative pain management provided for nurses as well as patients on related factors of pain management, including nurses’ knowledge and attitude of postoperative pain, and the level of pain that patients felt after surgery.
Method: A quasi-experimental research design was used in this research. Twenty-one nurses currently working in general surgery units and 32 patients who were taking on abdominal surgery in A university hospital were participated in this study. The three week-educational program of postoperative pain management including lecture, quiz, poster and discussion was provided for nurse participants. The postoperative pain management education for each patient was provided one day before his/her own operation for 20 minutes with the pamphlet developed by researchers. For assessing the effects, nurses’ knowledge and attitude about pain management, patients’ postoperative pain, pain control barriers, and satisfaction of pain management were measured.
Results: The nurses’ knowledge about pain management and the patients’ satisfaction of pain management in the experimental group were higher than in the control group. The patients’ postoperative pain in the experimental group was lower than in the control group.
Conclusion: With the above results, the postoperative pain management education could be an effective nursing intervention for pain management of patients who were taking surgery.
