Impact of pain education program (pep) on the knowledge and attitude of surgical unit nurses in postoperative pain assessment (pop) and management
Publication . Alhassan, Hamdiya-tu; Sharp, Sandra
Background: Acute pain after surgery is often unavoidable and its effective assessment and management is an essential component to good quality of care. Unfortunately, despite strategies and interventions to increase awareness of postoperative pain (POP) and clinical improvements in pain management, there is still evidence that pain is undertreated in the postoperative setting. The inadequacy in pain assessment and management has been linked to nurses' inadequate knowledge and training in this area. Implementing a pain education program (PEP) is an approach for improving the knowledge and attitudes of surgical unit nurses in POP assessment and management.
