“…fears of their patients becoming addicted to medications and the risk of respiratory depression in pediatric patients given narcotic analgesics. These results are consistent with several previous studies (Ekim & Ocakcı, 2013;El-Rahman, Al Kalaldeh, & Muhbes, 2013;Nuseir, Kassab, & Basima, 2016;Sujatha, Samson, & Sundaresan, 2015). In addition, some participants (78/264) incorrectly agreed with the statement that parents should not be present during painful procedures ( Table 2, question 26).…”

“…The results implied that most pediatric physicians were unwilling to forego curative therapies in many instances and lack knowledge of pediatric palliative care principles. These findings were consistent with several previous studies (El-Rahman et al, 2013;Nuseir et al, 2016;Zanolin et al, 2007). Based on analysis by generalized linear models, hospital setting (a medical center vs. a general hospital), professional degree, and employment in different pediatric critical care settings significantly impacted clinicians' attitudes about pediatric pain management.…”

Background: The professional knowledge and personal attitudes of pediatric clinicians regarding pediatric pain are the most important factors impacting pediatric pain relief care. Few studies have investigated the knowledge and attitudes regarding pediatric pain management of clinicians in Taiwan. Purpose: Research purposes were to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of pediatric clinicians regarding pain management and to describe the barriers of applying pain management across pediatric and neonatal settings. Design and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive comparative design was used. Pediatric clinicians from two medical centers and three general hospitals in Taiwan were recruited to complete a questionnaire. Results: A total of 264 clinicians participated. On 33 questions measuring knowledge of pain management, the average correct response rate was 23.67. A significantly positive relationship was identified between clinicians' knowledge and prior training experience. Professional degree attainment significantly impacted clinicians' attitudes about pediatric pain management. Clinicians at pediatric wards showed more positive attitudes than did clinicians at either pediatric intensive care units or neonatal intensive care units. Five barriers to pediatric pain management were found. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that pediatric clinicians in Taiwan need further education regarding pediatric pain management. This study will also helpful in implementing multidisciplinary pediatric pain management programs to improve the quality of pediatric practice in pediatric care settings of hospitals.

In the kingdom of Bahrain an estimated 18,000 people suffer from Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and many experience periodic episodes of sickling crisis. Research studies that examine the knowledge and attitudes of nurses toward pain assessment and management of SCD patients are limited especially in the Middle East. This study aims to assess the level of knowledge and attitudes of nursing staff regarding pain assessment and management of patients with SCD during sickling crisis. A quantitative study design was utilized to recruit a convincence sample of 30 staff nurses working in adult SCD wards in one of governmental hospital in the Kingdom of Bahrain. A modified version of Nurses' Knowledge and Attitude Survey questionnaire regarding Pain was used to examine the research variables. The results of the study showed that a mean score of knowledge was 15.8 out of 33 (47.8% out of 100%). This finding indicates that staff nurses had poor knowledge and negative attitudes toward SCD pain assessment and management. The findings showed no significant difference in the mean score of knowledge in relation with nationality (p = .693), age (p = .966), level of education (p = .732), years of experience (p = .887), and previous training courses or workshops on pain management (p = .877). This study suggests the need for implementing of specific strategies to effectively educate the staff nurses about pain assessment and management, and integrate pain management as a major component of the hospital in-house training programs.
