The main objective of the study was to document the current knowledge and attitudes towards pain management among Italian nurses working in intensive care unit (ICU).
A multicenter cross-sectional study design was carried out. In order to assess the knowledge and attitudes of pain management, the KASRP questionnaire was used. The questionnaire was submitted online through Google Forms platform.
A total of 864 nurses completed and returned the study questionnaire (58% were males). The mean of the total correct answers was 31.21 (SD 2.92) out of 40 (total score if all items answered correctly) with range of 22-38. No significant differences were observed with regard to gender (t = 1.875, P = .061). Spearman's correlation test showed a positive significant relationship between knowledge and attitude of pain management and years of ICU experience (r = -.424, P <.001) and between knowledge and attitude of pain management and the attendance of a pain update course in the last 3 years (r= -0.83, P =.014). We haven't found any correlation neither between age and knowledge nor between age and attitude score (r = -0.32, P = .351).
This study has shown that Italian ICU nurses have good level of pain management knowledge and attitudes of pain medication. It is recommended to consider pain management in the context of continuing professional development.
本研究的主要目的是记录意大利重症监护病房（ICU）护士对疼痛管理的现有知识和态度。
采用多中心横断面研究设计。为了评估疼痛管理的知识和态度，使用了KASRP问卷。该问卷通过谷歌表单平台在线提交。
共有864名护士完成并返回了研究问卷（58%为男性）。在满分40分（所有项目回答正确的总分）中，正确答案的平均总数为31.21分（标准差2.92），范围在22 - 38分之间。在性别方面未观察到显著差异（t = 1.875，P = .061）。Spearman相关性检验显示，疼痛管理的知识和态度与ICU工作年限之间存在显著正相关（r = -.424，P <.001），以及疼痛管理的知识和态度与过去3年参加疼痛更新课程之间存在显著正相关（r = -0.83，P =.014）。我们未发现年龄与知识之间以及年龄与态度得分之间存在任何相关性（r = -0.32，P = .351）。
本研究表明，意大利ICU护士在疼痛管理知识和疼痛药物治疗态度方面具有良好水平。建议在持续专业发展的背景下考虑疼痛管理。
