Nurses' knowledge and attitudes about pain management affect their capability to attend to children in pain. A modified version of the Pediatric Nurses' Knowledge and Attitude Survey (PNKAS--Manworren and Shriners Hospitals for Children Version, 2002) was used to evaluate nursing competency to manage pain at eight pediatric hospitals. A convenience sample of 295 nurses attained a mean individual test score of 74% correct. Scores were correlated with demographic data. The novice group with 0-2 years nursing experience had significantly (p<0.05) lower scores (fewer correct answers) than the other five groups with more than 2 years of nursing experience. The nurses who participated in professional nursing organizations or nursing committees had significantly higher scores than those who did not participate. Nursing education, professional activity, and years of clinical experience contribute to the knowledge necessary for competency in pain management, as evidenced by higher scores using this survey tool.
护士对疼痛管理的知识和态度会影响她们照料疼痛患儿的能力。采用了《儿科护士知识与态度调查问卷》的修订版（《儿科护士知识与态度调查问卷——曼沃伦及施莱宁儿童医院版本，2002年》）来评估八家儿科医院护士管理疼痛的能力。295名护士的便利样本个体测试平均正确率为74%。分数与人口统计学数据相关。具有0至2年护理经验的新手组得分显著（p<0.05）低于其他五组具有超过2年护理经验的护士（正确答案更少）。参加专业护理组织或护理委员会的护士得分显著高于未参加者。护理教育、专业活动和临床经验年限有助于获得疼痛管理能力所需的知识，使用该调查工具得到的更高分数证明了这一点。
