“…25,26 Examining the results of the pain management satisfaction revealed relatively satisfied patients. Participants reported higher levels of satisfaction (5.38 out of 6) than cancer patients, 15 and comparable to the satisfaction of patients with burn injuries. 11 The other striking result was that more than 95% reported being satisfied with the approaches used to manage their pain, which is comparable to the results found among the Spanish general patients 19 and the Greek elderly patients.…”

“…13 However, patient-centred outcomes such as satisfaction started to be increasingly recognised as important outcome measures. 14 Thus, pain management satisfaction, as a patientcentred outcome measure, started to be a focus for health care institutions as an indicator for evaluating quality of care 15 and preventing and relieving pain. 16 On the other hand, improved pain management is evidently correlated with better outcomes for patients.…”

“…Nurses also educate patients to improve their understanding regarding their pain and empowering them to manage or cope with the pain (Musclow et al, 2002). Patients express greater satisfaction when nurses are involved in pain management (Tervo-Heikkinen et al, 2008;Beck et al, 2010). Nurses' 3 role in pain management is relevant in various settings, including acute care, postoperative care and cancer care (Musclow et al, 2002;Kaasalainen et al, 2010).…”

Background: Successful implementation of pain management procedures and guidelines in an institution depends very much on the acceptance of many levels of healthcare providers. Aim: The main purpose of this study was to determine the level of knowledge and attitudes regarding pain among nurses working in tertiary care in a local setting and the factors that may be associated with this. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional research study used a modified version of the Nurses' Knowledge and Attitudes Survey (NKAS) regarding pain. Basic demographic data were obtained for further correlation with the level of pain knowledge. Results: A total of 566 nurses, 34 male and 532 female, volunteered to participate in this study. The response rate (RR) was 76%, with an overall mean percentage score of 42.7±10.9 (range: 5-92.5). The majority of participants were younger nurses below 40 years of age and more than 70% had worked for less than 10 years (6.6±4.45). Up to 92% had never had any formal education in pain management in general. The total mean score of correct answers was 58.6±9.58, with oncology nursing staff scoring a higher percentage when compared with nurses from other general and critical care wards (63.52±9.27, p<0.045). Only 2.5% out of all participants obtained a score of 80% or greater. The majority of the oncology nurses achieved the expected competency level (p<0.03). Conclusions: The present findings give further support for the universal concern about poor knowledge and attitudes among nurses' related to the optimal management of pain. The results reflected that neither number of years working nor age influenced the level of knowledge or attitudes of the practising nurses. Oncology nursing staff consistently scored better than the rest of the cohort. This reflects that clinical experience helped to improve attitudes and knowledge concerning better pain management.

“…[20] Further, several studies have shown that patients can be satisfied with their pain management, despite experiencing severe pain. [22,23] In the original version, feelings of helplessness were loaded on the pain severity and activity subscale instead of the affective subscale. Our study indicated that "Pain causing helplessness" was related to the affective subscale.…”

SummaryObjective: This study aims to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish Revised American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire (APS-POQ-R-TR). Methods: A methodological and cross-sectional design was used. This study included a total of 250 surgical patients (98 males, 152 females) between January 2015 and January 2016. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the APS-POQ-R. Language equivalence, content and construct validity, and reliability of the scale were evaluated. Results: The Pearson correlation coefficient of the scale for parallel test reliability was 0.362, and the Cronbach's alpha value was determined as 0.88 in the APS-POQ-R-TR. According to fit indexes of the confirmatory factor analysis [x2/SD=362.53/125=2.90; RMSEA=0.087 (90% CI: 0.077-0.098); CFI=0.95; IFI=0.95; NNFI=0.94], three factors were found to be appropriate for the APS-POQ-R-TR. Conclusion:The adaptation of the translated APS-POQ-R in Turkey is reliable and valid to measure and evaluate the quality of postoperative pain management in the Turkish population.
