“…*Pain is the most common reason why people visit a healthcare professional (Foster, 2011;Goldberg and McGee, 2011). Effective control of the pain is an important consideration for healthcare professionals to ensure good quality of care and it would be unfair to make the patients feel pain without suitable pain relief or to deliver treatment with high-quality (Issa and Khraisat, 2017).…”

The objective of this study is to examine undergraduate nursing students' knowledge and attitudes toward pain management in the University of Hail and differences between groups defined in terms of socio-demographic and other selected characteristics students in knowledge and attitude with regard pain management scores. The descriptive, cross-sectional design included a sample of 150 undergraduates Saudi nursing students of the University of Hail in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia to investigate the knowledge and attitudes regarding pain management. The Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain scale (KASRP) was used to measure knowledge and attitudes regarding pain management. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and independent sample t test. Data were collected over a two month period from April 2017 through June 2017. Of the 220 distributed questionnaires; 150 completed questionnaires were returned. The data revealed that nursing students were found to have a lack of knowledge and attitudes towards pain management. The mean correct score for the entire scale was 41.8% (SD=3.71). Findings revealed that there were significant differences found in the students' scores related to the frequency of using pain scales (p<0.05). The study showed that Saudi students lacked the appropriate knowledge and attitudes regarding pain and its management and it is recommended that additional training education should be addressed.

“…All studies used a survey or questionnaire to examine nurse's responses. Half of the studies used the modified versions of Ferrell and McCaffery's (1987) Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain (KASRP), a validated data collection instrument (Adams et al, 2020; Issa et al, 2017; Thapa & Gurung, 2020; Umuhozaa et al, 2019; Wang & Tsai, 2010). The rationale for modifications or specific detail about the modifications to the instrument were not discussed.…”

“…Overall, five of the included studies (Adams et al, 2020; Brockopp et al, 2003; Manwere et al, 2015; Schreiber et al, 2014; Wang & Tsai, 2010) were of a high quality providing clear description of study design, recruitment, measurement of outcomes and reporting of study results. Four studies (Issa et al, 2017; Karamjeet, 2017; Thapa & Gurung, 2020) provided insufficient detail on various aspects of the study, for example recruitment process and bias minimisation which adversely impacted on our ability to assess their overall quality. These studies did however, report study findings in a clear and precise manner.…”
