Considering the importance of pain management and the complications of non-management by nurses, the present study was carried out with the aim of determining the knowledge and attitude of nursing and midwifery students of medical sciences universities of Mazandaran province in the field of pain management and related factors in 2022. The current research is a cross-sectional study (descriptive and analytical) that was conducted at Universities of Medical Sciences of Mazandaran Province. The sample size was calculated to be 207 people who were selected from nursing and midwifery students of the 5th to 8th semesters who were eligible to enter the study by systematic random sampling. The data collection tools were: a demographic profile questionnaire, a Nurses' Attitude Survey (NAS), a Nurses' Knowledge Assessment Questionnaire in the field of pain management, Pain Management Principles Assessment Test (PMPAT). Experiment and data analysis were conducted with SPSS software version 26. The average age of the students was 21.61. The gender of most people (207 people) was female. The average score of knowledge about pain management was 41.53 ± 10.30 and the average score of attitude toward pain management was 65.24 ± 5.26 (on average). The results of the Mann-Whitney test indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between the average knowledge and attitude toward pain management according to gender (female), educational background, university semester, having a student work experience ( < 0.05). Also, Spearman's test showed that there is a positive and significant correlation between students' knowledge and attitude (R = 0.324), which was statistically significant ( < 0.05). The results of this study indicate that the amount of knowledge and attitude toward pain management in the studied nursing and midwifery students is average. In examining the factors related to pain management of patients, things like gender, education history, university semester, having a student work history are related to the level of knowledge and attitude. In this way, it seems necessary to carry out educational interventions in order to increase the knowledge and improve the attitude of students toward pain management.
鉴于疼痛管理的重要性以及护士对疼痛未进行管理所带来的并发症，本研究于2022年开展，旨在确定马赞德兰省医科大学护理与助产专业学生在疼痛管理领域的知识和态度以及相关因素。本研究为横断面研究（描述性和分析性），在马赞德兰省医科大学进行。样本量经计算为207人，通过系统随机抽样从符合条件进入研究的第5至第8学期护理与助产专业学生中选取。数据收集工具包括：人口统计学概况问卷、护士态度调查（NAS）、疼痛管理领域护士知识评估问卷、疼痛管理原则评估测试（PMPAT）。使用SPSS 26版软件进行实验和数据分析。学生的平均年龄为21.61岁。大多数人（207人）为女性。疼痛管理知识的平均得分为41.53±10.30，对疼痛管理态度的平均得分为65.24±5.26（平均而言）。曼-惠特尼检验结果表明，根据性别（女性）、教育背景、大学学期、是否有学生工作经历，疼痛管理的平均知识和态度之间存在统计学显著差异（<0.05）。此外，斯皮尔曼检验表明，学生的知识和态度之间存在正相关且显著相关（R = 0.324），具有统计学显著性（<0.05）。本研究结果表明，在所研究的护理与助产专业学生中，对疼痛管理的知识和态度水平为中等。在研究与患者疼痛管理相关的因素时，诸如性别、教育史、大学学期、是否有学生工作经历等因素与知识和态度水平相关。因此，似乎有必要开展教育干预，以增加学生对疼痛管理的知识并改善其态度。
