“…Equianalgesic dosing continues to be an issue even in non-cancer pain research. In a study done by Salvado-Hernenadez et al [12], 62% of medical providers did not know the equivalence between oral and intravenous morphine, again suggesting additional education is needed in this area. Douglass et al [13] further confirmed the lack of confidence in equianalgesic dosing amongst medical staff (interns, residents, and attending physicians).…”

“…The other interventions that can be implemented by hospitals may include installing electronic patient record systems (to access availability of pain assessment tools and to encourage documentation of pain assessment), developing policies and protocols that emphasise pain assessment, and re-calibration of nurses' patient load in critical care units to ensure adequate time for pain assessment and management. Studies have reported significant improvement in nurses' pain assessment and management practices when approaches such as pain educational programmes integrating experiential learning strategies to clinical area and contextualising institutional support are utilised (Abdalrahim et al 2011;Schreiber et al 2014;Zhang et al 2008).…”

“…Suboptimal pain control has been frequently reported in acute care settings and documented to negatively impact patients' health, delay recovery, increase postoperative morbidity, and reduce patient satisfaction [2, 4, 13, 14]. It also increases the risk of developing chronic pain resulting in higher use of healthcare resources and costs [15, 16].…”

Introduction. The primary objectives of this study were to assess patients' description of their acute pain intensity; patients' attitude towards their pain management during hospitalization; and their overall satisfaction with pain treatment. Methodology. A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted between October 2014 and March 2015 in three medical centers in Lebanon. All participants' responses were reported using descriptive statistics. The association between categorical variables was evaluated using Pearson χ2 test or Fisher's exact test where the expected cell count was < 5. Results. A total of 119 women on the maternity services and 177 patients on the orthopedic services were surveyed. Around 50% of obstetric and 37% of orthopedic patients reported pain to be severe at its highest intensity. In maternity and orthopedic patients, respectively, unfavorable practices included pain not being assessed prior to pain medication administration (19.3% and 30.5%), having to wait for ≥30 minutes before getting the pain medication (14.2% and 11.3%), and pain score not being documented on medical chart (95% and 93.2%). Surprisingly, 94.1% of the maternity and 89.2% of orthopedic patients were satisfied to strongly satisfied with their pain management. Conclusion. Pre- and postoperative pain remain a prevalent problem that requires a consensus and joint efforts for improvement.
