Key result
A nursing training initiative increased surgical nurses' pain management knowledge scores from 71% to 83% and achieved controlled pain levels in over 88% of adult surgical patients.
Why the study?
Inadequate post-surgical pain management in adult surgical patients is common, with suboptimal post-surgical pain interventions recognized as a major barrier.
Does a training intervention for surgical nurses improve post-surgical pain management and nurses' knowledge in adult surgical patients?
Population

Does a training intervention for surgical nurses improve post-surgical pain management and nurses' knowledge in adult surgical patients?
Absolute Event Rate: 83% vs 71%
Training interventions for surgical nurses improved both nurses' pain management knowledge and the proportion of adult surgical patients experiencing controlled post-surgical pain.
Tashkandi et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Post-surgical pain. Training interventions on pain management strategies vs. Pre-intervention baseline was evaluated on Surgical nurses' pain knowledge assessment score. A nursing training initiative increased surgical nurses' pain management knowledge scores from 71% to 83% and achieved controlled pain levels in over 88% of adult surgical patients.
