“…The literature has research results that reveal nurses' insufficient knowledge on analgesics. [1,14] According to one of the dissertation results, training delivered on principles for the quality use of analgesics had a positive influence on nurses' knowledge and practices. Another research reported that informing patients on the efficacy of analgesics used by them allowed them to have more benefits from the efficacy of analgesics in the postoperative period and helped early mobilization.…”

Non-pharmacologic pain management is an effective way to reduce pain severity and it can be independently used by nurses. Researchers of dissertations often choose non-pharmacologic practices that have no side effects, have minimum risk, are not detrimental to patients, are easy to administer, and are cost-efficient. Effective non-pharmacologic methods specific to groups by age, sex, and medical diagnosis should be identified by literature review for each non-pharmacologic method in future studies.

“…Unlike the current study, a study conducted in Turkey found that nurses' knowledge and behaviour scores of patients with pain and pain management is at a medium level and most do not have sufficient knowledge about the diagnosis and management of pain. it has been determined that only 48.7% of nurses observe the behaviours of their patients in diagnosing pain intensity and that 66.7% do not use the pain scale to measure their patients' pain levels [20]. in a study conducted by Hamilton and edgar on canadian nurses, a 63.9% knowledge level about pain control was reported to be adequate; this ratio was 68% in U.S. nurses in another study [21].…”

“…System-based strategies utilise pain resource nurses (PrNs) as catalysts to optimise and improve nursing practises related to pain management [23]. effective and accurate assessments of pain must be obtained to implement targeted and effective pain relief interventions as the inaccurate assessment of pain may hinder relief efforts [20]. However, numerous studies have consistently demonstrated that patients continue to suffer unnecessary pain and that pain is poorly assessed and managed and is a low nursing priority [24,25,26].…”

The most pressing issue in the assessment of children is that they are unable to explain their pain. effective pain management requires that nurses have accurate knowledge and skills. This aim of this study was to explain the assessment and management of pain in children by paediatric nurses in eastern Turkey. This descriptive crosssectional study included 180 paediatric nurses. it intended to reach paediatric nurses between April 22, 2013, and June 1, 2013. The data were analysed using SPSS 22.0 and evaluated by descriptive statistics, and the chi-squared test was used to determine the statistical differences between categorical variables. The mean ages of the nurses were 26.6 ± 6.46. The nurses reported the methods they used to assess pain in children as evaluating the behavioural and physiological changes (78.8%). They reported their primary intervention for pain management in children as consulting the doctor (50%). commonly used non-pharmacological interventions were massage (40%), giving the child a toy (23.4%), storytelling (14.4%), and playing a game (4.4%). in this study, paediatric nurses frequently did not use the pain assessment scale and used nonpharmacological interventions for pain management. Optimal pain management is the right of all patients and the responsibility of all health professionals. Nurses especially should use evidence-based assessments for children's pain. Moreover, it is also necessary to conduct further studies on non-pharmacological interventions.

“…Çalışmamızda hemşirelerin %54'ü ağrının sağlık personelinin yanı sıra hasta tarafından da değerlendirilmesinin gereğini bilmektedir. Yapılan benzer çalışmalarda da hemşirelerin çoğunluğu ağrı şiddetinin belirlenmesinde hasta değerlendirmesinin gerektiğini belirtmişlerdir 1,13,26 . Kizza ve arkadaşlarının çalışmasında, hemşirelerin hastaların ağrılarını doğru bir şekilde değerlendiremediklerini ve hastaların ağrısının olduğuna inanmadıklarını belirlemişlerdir 28 .…”
