BackgroundPain can adversely affect every aspect of a patient’s daily activity, and consequently, it has a great influence on the quality of life. Studies have shown that health care professionals have little knowledge of and inadequate attitudes toward the assessment of pain and its treatment with analgesics.ObjectivesThis cross-sectional study was designed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practice of health care professionals regarding chronic pain management. It was carried out in six different educational hospitals affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in Shiraz, Iran.Patients and MethodsParticipants were given a questionnaire containing 46 questions and demographic characteristics to fill out independently. In total, 213 health care professionals (114 nurses and 99 medical residents) volunteered to take part in this study. In order to ease further analysis, the questions were grouped into three categories: narcotic drugs, non-narcotic drugs, and non-drug-related questions.ResultsThe mean correct response rate was 43.13% ± 11.10. Medical residents scored 51.23% ± 9.02% and nurses 36.10% ± 7.31% (P < 0.001). There was no statistically significant relation between field of specialty and the mean scores of medical residents. Narcotic drug questions received the lowest (39.02%) and non-narcotic drug questions received the highest (57.32%) percentages of correct responses. Only 9.3% of participants believed that they had received adequate education about pain and its management.ConclusionsThe findings of this study support concern about inadequate knowledge, attitudes, and practice regarding chronic pain management. We believe that further education and practical training will be needed for adequate pain management.

“…However, survey findings highlighted potential knowledge gaps to explore and further address PRN educational needs regarding the administration of postoperative analgesia, and monitoring of patients for opioid side effects. This knowledge gap is not a unique issue (Al‐Shaer, Hill, & Anderson, ; Latina et al., ) and could be reflective of increased nurse turnover, limited years of PRN experience, as well as insufficient pain knowledge and skills associated with some newly graduated nurses (Chow & Chan, ; Herr et al., ). In addition, concerns were raised about some of the survey items and a perceived lack of relevance to local practice, indicating a need to identify a more locally relevant instrument for future evaluations.…”

Implementing and sustaining evidence-based practice change in clinical practice is challenging. Ongoing evaluation is necessary for identifying the long-term implications of practice improvement interventions and issues that influence the adoption of evidence-based practice. Strategies to address barriers, and to increase awareness and engagement of the pain resource nurse role with wider collaboration require further investigation.

“…Despite the recognition that nurses play a leading role in optimal pain management, nurses often lack the relevant knowledge (Brant, Mohr, Coombs, Finn, & Wilmarth, 2017;Latina et al, 2015;Willens, 2014), which results, for example, in misconceptions about dependence on opiates and their depressive effect on the central nervous system (Furjanic, Cooney, & McCarthy, 2016;Samarkandi, 2018;Schreiber et al, 2014). In a study by Bergeron, Bourgault and Gallagher (2015), nearly three out of four nurses working in doctors' offices felt their practice regarding pain management was limited.…”
