“…Jordanian patients reported relatively higher levels of pain compared to other countries [30]. Also, Jordanian patients in the intensive care units ranked pain as the second most stressful stressor; having tube in nose or mouth was the first [31].…”

“…Limited information is available and few studies assessed Jordanian nurses' knowledge and attitudes regarding pain management. Those studies had certain limitations including using qualitative research approach [32], including small sample sizes [29], including nurses from one hospital or from one or two nursing specialty [30]. Such limitations hinder the generalizability of the results, and call for additional studies to assist in filling the gap in this important field of patient care.…”

The purpose of this study is to explore Jordanian nurses' knowledge and attitudes regarding pain assessment, and barriers to intervention at different hospitals representing health care sectors in Jordan. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used in this study utilizing self-administered questionnaires to collect data from nurses working in public, University-affiliated, and private hospitals located on the north, mid, and south of Jordan using Nurses' Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain, (n = 439). The mean of total correct answers on the 32 knowledge questions was 13.39 (SD = 4.31). Nurse-related barriers to effective pain management include patient history of alcohol abuse or drug addiction, and nursing staff reluctant to contact physician for analgesic order. Nurses working in surgical units, employed at private hospitals, holding a master degree, or who attended educational course or program scored significantly higher than other nurses. The results demonstrated knowledge deficit and attitude and that nurses underestimated and undertreated patients' pain. Serious efforts should be taken in nursing schools and hospitals to prepare nurses and equip them with comprehensive knowledge tools to assess and manage pain appropriately.

“…Furthermore, in a study conducted among 300 hospitalized patients in three different settings in Jordan, Alhusban and Abuarub [14] found that patient's satisfaction with nursing care was moderate. Looking at specific types of healthcare services, Darawad, Alhussami, et al [16] reported that patients were only moderately satisfied with pain management services.…”

“…Moreover, Americans and Jordanians appear to differ in their utilization of stereotypic-related biases, suggesting they are differentially influenced by patient demographics. Pain and its management have been recognized as significant challenges in the Jordanian health care system, and only recently have these issues been addressed in this country 38. Due to the limited pain management and demographic disparities research being conducted in Jordan,34,35,38–42 we believe that our findings may be an initial step towards eliminating potential inequities in pain management in this country.…”

PurposeStudies in the United States have found that patients’ sex, race, and age influence the pain assessment and treatment decisions of laypeople and medical professionals. However, there is limited research as to whether people of other nationalities make pain management decisions differently based on demographic characteristics. Therefore, the purpose of the following study was to compare pain assessment and treatment decisions of undergraduate students in Jordan and the United States as a preliminary examination of nationality as a potential proxy for cultural differences in pain decisions.MethodsVirtual human (VH) technology was used to examine the influences of patients’ sex (male or female), race (light-skinned or dark-skinned), and age (younger or older) on students’ pain management decisions. Seventy-five American and 104 Jordanian undergraduate students participated in this web-based study.ResultsAmerican and Jordanian students rated pain intensity higher in females and older adults and were more likely to recommend medical help to these groups, relative to males and younger adults. Furthermore, Jordanian participants rated pain intensity higher and were more likely to recommend medical help for all patient demographic groups (ie, sex, race, age) than American participants.ConclusionThis is the first cross-national study that compares pain decisions between undergraduate students. The results suggest that sex, race, and age cues are used in pain assessment and treatment by both Americans and Jordanians, with Jordanians more likely to rate pain higher and recommend medical help to patients. Additional research is needed to determine the cultural determinants of these differences.
