The effects of pain management education on knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs in nursing students in Turkey: A quasi‐experimental study

“…This shows that the students had inadequate knowledge and inappropriate attitudes about pain and its management, which is consistent with the literature. [11][12][13]34,35 In the current study, the nursing students were found to have enhanced knowledge and attitudes just after the education (76.80%) and at 3 months after the education (65.91%) compared to their knowledge and attitudes before the education (45.85%). The lower score for knowledge and attitudes at 3 months after the education compared to the score just after the education suggests the effect of education on knowledge and attitudes.…”

Nurses' knowledge and beliefs on pain management practices with hospitalised persons living with dementia: A qualitative descriptive study

Education about the use of standardised assessment tools in PLWD and documentation could facilitate communication with patients, nurses, and outside facilities, challenge stigma, and streamline pain management practices.…”

Comparison of Postoperative Pain Management Outcomes in the United States and China

“…One practical solution is to upgrade the role of ward nurses to be proficient in different acute pain service models ( Rawal, 2016 ). Furthermore, education regarding pain management in nursing schools remains inadequate ( Fang et al, 2017 ), which leads to less confidence in pain management in Chinese nurses than in American nurses, for whom pain management education is emphasized ( Cong et al, 2014 ).…”
