“…These results reinforce the need for well-structured, tailored educational programs to improve nurses' pain knowledge and attitudes. Continuous educational programs support nurses to develop theoretical and clinical knowledge that improves practice (17,46,47). For such programs to be successful, barriers and enablers of effective pain assessment and management must be addressed.…”

“…Studies recommend the process of offering continuous educational programs for nurses to enable them to appropriately maintain theoretical and clinical knowledge for the sake of improving their practice (Alzghoul & Abdullah, 2016;Lokapur, Vasani, & Page, 2018;Wood, 1998). There is a heterogeneity amidst the recruited nurses in the post-operative areas in HMC with units comprising of nurses from a range of different countries.…”

Aim To assess the knowledge and attitudes of nurses in Qatar about adult post-operative patients’ pain assessment and management, and the factors that may be associated with such knowledge and attitudes. Background Pain is a complex and challenging phenomenon. People have different pain experiences but everyone has the right to effective pain management. Pain assessment and management are integral components of a nurse’s role. Methods Post-operative registered nurses from all perioperative areas at Hamad Medical Corporation participated in a cross-sectional online survey using a self-administered questionnaire. A knowledge and attitudes (K&A) score was calculated. Associations between K&A and potential explanatory variables were assessed using t tests and one-way ANOVA. Results A total of 151 post-operative nurses participated in the study (100% response rate). The mean knowledge and attitudes (K&A) score was 19.6 ± 4.5 out of 41 (48%), indicating a large deficit in nurses’ knowledge and attitudes about adult post-operative pain. There were no statistically significant differences in the mean K&A scores of participants based on gender, nationality, education level, marital status, workplace facility, current job designation, or hours of pain education. Conclusion There is a significant deficit in post-operative nurses’ knowledge and attitudes about pain across the nursing workforce in post-operative care. Implications for nursing education and policy: Evidence-based, innovative nursing education courses are needed to improve nurses’ knowledge and attitudes about pain assessment and management. Health service policy is required to ensure that evidence-based in-service education on pain management is compulsory for all nurses.

“…Importantly, the lack of education and recommendations regarding analgesics from health professionals is very concerning, as there's a risk of potentially life-threatening analgesic-induced adverse effects, especially as a high percentage were using two Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) concomitantly. Knowledge of these practices gained through this study could allow for the development and implementation of corrective strategies to promote education and safe practice of analgesic use in runners (Tsai et al, 2022), (Grézy-Chabardès et al, 2015), (Daifallah et al, 2021), (AlSaeed & Elmaghraby, 2021), (Jankovic et al, 2019), (Pareek, 2022), (Mostafa et al, 2022), (Khetarpal et al, 2021).…”

“…The practices of self-medication pose a serious risk to communicable and no communicable disease control and public health in general (Pareek, 2022). Despite the development of analgesics and advancement in pain management pain remains undermanaged the untreated pain has a detrimental effect on the patient's quality of life, affects their outcomes, delays recovery, and increases hospitalization (Khetarpal et al, 2021).…”

Analgesic medicines are the most regularly prescribed pharmaceuticals globally. The goal of this project is to learn about and improve analgesic use practices through an education campaign. Materials and Procedures: This cross-sectional, online survey was conducted for 340 respondents in Derna City Libya region between 15 April 2022 and two November 2022. Result: Males were 49 (14.4%) and females were 291 (85.6%), the Mean & S.D (1.86, 0.352), ages 10 - 65 years old, the Mean & S.D (1.86, 0.352), (3.92, 2.082). The greatest percentage of excellent at the economic level is 153 (45.0%). The lowest score for superb is 6 (1.8%), followed by 45% for a decent scenario, 35% for a not-so-poor situation, and 7.1% for a horrible one. The percentage of university graduates is 203 (59.7%), whereas the percentage of illiterate people is 3 (0.9%). The P-Value of understanding the adverse effects of using analgesics regularly (0.000 0.05), the correlation is significant for there is a link between knowledge and educational level, the relationship between knowledge and educational level demonstrates that a p-value greater than 0.05 indicates that there is no relationship between knowledge and educational level. Conclusion: No matter how high a person's education level is, it does not substitute for understanding the usage of analgesic drugs and there's no correlation between a scientific degree and citizens' understanding of the hazards of utilizing analgesic drugs without a prescription.

“…The International Association for the Study of Pain outlined important clinical obstacles for effective pain management, such as lack of knowledge (Treede, 2018 ), opioid phobia towards opioid addiction and respiratory depression (Uslu Sahan & Terzioglu, 2017 ), lack of effective interdisciplinary communication (Glowacki, 2015 ), medical team's reluctance to prescribe opioids (Arthur et al, 2019 ), the delay of opioid storage protocol (Guest et al, 2017 ), lack of pain assessment and protocols and nursing workload (Kahsay & Pitkäjärvi, 2019 ). It was also suggested that nursing pharmacology curriculum may not adequately equip undergraduate nurses with pain management skills (Lokapur et al, 2018 ). On the post registration nursing levels, pain management was found to be significantly associated with undertaking pain management training (Dessie et al, 2019 ) or educational programme (Alnajar et al, 2019 ).…”

We determined the average mean score for both the individual and the aggregate scores and the t-test. Results:The nurses had an inadequate level of knowledge and attitudes regarding pain based on the average mean score for this factor. There was a statistically significant correlation between length of time spent working as a registered nurse and the nurses' reported scores on tests measuring their knowledge and attitude toward pain.
