Professional objectivity should be the primary focus of patient care. Health care professionals are at times reluctant to give opioids out of fear that patients may become addicted, which would result in the undertreatment of pain. The influence of nurses' attitudes on the management of sickle cell pain was studied. The variables of age, education, area of practice, and years of active experience were considered. Of the respondents, 63% believed addiction was prevalent, and 30% were hesitant to administer high-dose opioids. Study findings suggest that nurses would benefit from additional education on sickle cell disease, pain assessment and management, and addiction. Educational recommendations are discussed.
专业客观性应是患者护理的首要重点。医护人员有时因担心患者可能成瘾而不愿开具阿片类药物,这会导致疼痛治疗不足。研究了护士态度对镰状细胞性疼痛管理的影响。考虑了年龄、教育程度、执业领域和工作年限等变量。在受访者中,63% 认为成瘾很普遍,30% 对使用高剂量阿片类药物犹豫不决。研究结果表明,护士将受益于关于镰状细胞病、疼痛评估与管理以及成瘾方面的额外教育。文中讨论了教育建议。
