Patients' feedback about their perianesthesia experience at an acute care 609-bed teaching hospital in Washington, DC, indicated that pain management was an area in need of improvement. A nonexperimental descriptive study related to pain management was conducted in the perianesthesia areas to assess the knowledge and attitudes of health care providers. McCaffrey and Ferrell's 38-item self-report questionnaire was given to anesthesia providers, preoperative nurses, Phase I nurses, and Phase II nurses (N=138). Seventy-two participants responded, yielding a 52% response rate. Results showed a statistically significant difference between the scores of the anesthesia care providers and the preoperative area nurses and between the Phase I nurses and the preoperative nurses. No statistically significant differences were found between the anesthesia providers, and Phase I and Phase II nurses, indicating that at this hospital, nurses who provide postoperative care have similar knowledge and attitudes regarding pain as the anesthesia providers.
患者对华盛顿特区一家拥有609张床位的急症护理教学医院围麻醉期体验的反馈表明,疼痛管理是一个需要改进的领域。在围麻醉期区域开展了一项与疼痛管理相关的非实验性描述性研究,以评估医护人员的知识和态度。向麻醉医护人员、术前护士、第一阶段护士和第二阶段护士(N = 138)发放了麦卡弗里和费雷尔的38项自评问卷。72名参与者进行了回复,回复率为52%。结果显示,麻醉护理人员与术前区域护士的得分之间以及第一阶段护士与术前护士的得分之间存在统计学上的显著差异。在麻醉医护人员与第一阶段和第二阶段护士之间未发现统计学上的显著差异,这表明在这家医院,提供术后护理的护士在疼痛方面的知识和态度与麻醉医护人员相似。
