“…The need to recognize pain as the fifth vital sign was described for the first time by James Campbell 1 in 1996 where, in his opinion, if pain were evaluated with the same care as other vital signs, there would be a better chance of promoting adequate management. As from this idea, several authors started considering the importance of recognizing pain as the fifth vital sign, being its control considered a basic human right [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] . The understanding of pain pathophysiology is highly important for every professional, since this is the basis for a high quality care 13 .…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Pain, for being largely neglected by most university curricula, is requiring new and urgent educational strategies aiming at improving its management in the daily practice. This study aimed at assessing pain and therapeutic knowledge of physiotherapy students of a university center, explaining best known therapeutic approaches to control pain and determining the evolution of knowledge about pain throughout the course. METHODS: This is a descriptive transversal study with primary database query, carried out in the University Center of Gurupi (UNIRG), in the city of Gurupi/TO. Sample was made up of 85 physiotherapy students from the 1 st to the 10 th period. For a better analysis, participants were divided in three categories: Group A (students from the 1 st to the 4 th period), Group B (5 th to 8 th period) and Group C (9 th to 10 th period). RESULTS: Mean right answers when comparing groups was 46.8% for Group A, 47.0% for Group B and 49.7% for Group C, showing deficiency in the approach of the subject as basic requirement for the physiotherapy course curriculum, although the difference among groups was small. CONCLUSION: Pain is addressed during graduation not as a major subject but rather as a complementary concept for several disciplines. So, it is suggested that physiotherapy courses curricula should specifically address pain, since decreasing pain is a major physiotherapy objective.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Pain is the fifth vital sign and requires from health professionals specific skills and knowledge for its management. This study aimed at evaluating nursing practices for pain management in hospitals of a city in Southern Brazil. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional and quantitative study carried out by means of a structured questionnaire to evaluate professional characteristics and knowledge about pain in a sample of 418 professionals: 63 nurses and 355 nursing technicians from three hospitals, two public and one private, between July 2012 and August 2013. Chi-square and Fisher Exact tests were used to evaluate associations between explanatory variables and groups (professional category, type of hospital and time of professional exercise), with significance level of 5%. RESULTS: From all participants, 27.5% have attended specific discipline in their qualification; 30.6% have attended pain qualification courses; 66.7% know about pain evaluation methods and 58.6% use them. Private hospital professionals are more skilled in pain evaluation methods (p<0.001), as well as more recently graduated professionals (p=0.005). These methods were more broadly used by nurses (p=0.036); private hospital professionals (p<0.001) and those more recently graduated (p<0.001). Nurses better understand the concept of transduction (p<0.001); private hospital professionals follow more pain evaluation protocols (p<0.001) as well as those more recently graduated (p=0.013). CONCLUSION: Health professionals must improve their knowledge in this area so that nursing practices for pain management are adequately followed in hospitals of a city of Santa Catarina.
