“…The Nurse Knowledge Questionnaire was developed from a review of the literature and published instruments designed to assess nursing knowledge in the older adult, with an emphasis on evidence-based practice in regard to pain management ( Brockopp et al, 2004 ;McCaffery & Robinson, 2002 ;Phillips, Gift, Gelot, Duong, & Tapp, 2013 ;Wells, Pasero, & McCaffery, 2008 ;Zanolin et al, 2007 ).

Patient satisfaction with pain management has increasing importance with Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) scores tied to reimbursement. Previous studies indicate patient satisfaction is influenced by staff interactions. This single-group pre/post design study aimed to improve satisfaction with pain management in older adults undergoing total joint replacement. This was a single-group pre-/posttest design. Nurse (knowledge assessment) and patient (American Pain Society Patient Outcomes Questionnaire Revised [APS-POQ-R], HCAHPS) responses evaluated pre- and postimplementation of the online educational program. Nurse focus group followed intervention. Nurses' knowledge improved significantly (p < .006) postintervention. HCAHPS scores (3-month average) for items reflecting patient satisfaction improved from 70.2 ± 9.5 to 73.9 ± 6.0. APS-POQ-R scores did not change. Focus group comments indicated need for education regarding linkages between pain management and patient satisfaction. Education on linkages between patient satisfaction and pain management can improve outcomes; education on strategies to further improve practice may enhance ability to achieve benchmarks.

“…Our study revealed that 12% of patients were not sure what analgesic to take for their pain. Knowledge and subjectivity of pain therefore, may inhibit clear directives for suitable treatment options and result in inadequate or inappropriate self-management (Brockopp et al, 2004). Whether this assessment is carried out by the patient themselves or another care giver, such as a General Practitioner, nurse or carer the result can often be the same.…”
