Nursing staff spend more time with patients with pain than any other health staff member. For this reason, the nurse must possess the basic knowledge to identify the presence of pain in patients, to measure its intensity and make the steps necessary for treatment. Therefore, a prospective, descriptive, analytical, and cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the knowledge and attitudes regarding pediatric pain in two different populations. The questionnaire, Pediatric Nurses Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain (PKNAS), was applied to 111 hospital pediatric nurses and 300 university nursing students. The final scores for pediatric nurses and nursing students were 40.1 ± 7.9 and 40.3 ± 7.5, respectively. None of the sociodemographic variables predicted the scores obtained by the participants (P > 0.05). There was a high correlation between the PKNAS scores of pediatric nurses and nursing students (r = 0.86, P < 0.001). It was observed that the degree of knowledge about pain and its treatment was very low in both groups. Due to this deficiency, pain in children remains inadequately managed, which leads to suffering in this population. It is necessary to increase the continued training in this subject in both areas.
与其他医护人员相比，护理人员陪伴疼痛患者的时间更多。因此，护士必须具备基本知识，以识别患者是否存在疼痛，测量疼痛强度，并采取必要的治疗措施。为此，开展了一项前瞻性、描述性、分析性横断面研究，以调查两个不同群体对小儿疼痛的知识和态度。采用《儿科护士关于疼痛的知识与态度调查问卷》（PKNAS）对111名医院儿科护士和300名大学护理专业学生进行了调查。儿科护士和护理专业学生的最终得分分别为40.1±7.9和40.3±7.5。没有任何社会人口统计学变量能够预测参与者的得分（P>0.05）。儿科护士和护理专业学生的PKNAS得分之间存在高度相关性（r=0.86，P<0.001）。结果发现，两组对疼痛及其治疗的了解程度都很低。由于这一缺陷，儿童疼痛问题仍未得到充分处理，导致这一群体遭受痛苦。有必要在这两个领域增加关于该主题的持续培训。
