In- service Training Program Regarding Nurses’ performance for Non- Pharmacological Pain Management Among Orthopedic Patients

Abstract

Pain management is an important aspect of patient care and nurses play a significant role in providing pain assessment and management. Non-pharmacological pain management refers to interventions that do not involve the use of medications to treat pain. They found to be effective with less side effects and complications.This study aimed to determine the effect of in-service training program on nurses' performance towards Non-Pharmacological Pain Management among orthopedic patients in El-Hadra hospital. A quasi-experimental design was conducted on fifty orthopedic nurses that were divided into two equal groups as study and control. Three tools were used data collection: Tool I: demographic data assessment sheet, Tool II: Nurses' knowledge regarding non-pharmacological pain relieves methods questionnaire, and Tool III: Nurses' Performance towards Non-Pharmacological Pain Management assessment sheet. Results of the present study revealed that: The difference was highly statistically significant as regard the nurses' knowledge and their level of performance toward non-pharmacological pain management either within the study group nurses or between the control and study groups nurses post the in surface training program. Conclusion and recommendation, the use of non -pharmacological methods is the most effective way for relieving orthopedic procedural pain. Therefore, it is important to conduct this study.

The effect of guided imagery on postoperative pain and comfort of geriatric orthopaedic patients: a randomized controlled trial

“…Nurses who provide care for geriatric orthopaedic patients experienced pain, use pharmacological and non‐pharmacological methods to solve this problem 4,5 . Methods such as listening to musing, inhaling aromatic oils, watching comedy movies, yoga, and guided imagery are non‐pharmacological methods 6–8 . Guided imagery, which is a mind–body method, allows the patient to relax and feel good 9 .…”

[6][7][8] Guided imagery, which is a mind-body method, allows the patient to relax and feel good. 9 The imagination of the patient is facilitated by helping them feel in a place that is far from their current settings such as a beach or somewhere they would feel relaxed.…”

Nurses Experience and Perceived Challenges of Using Nonpharmacological Pain Interventions for Musculoskeletal Pain: A Qualitative Study

“…Therefore, updated guidelines recommend a multimodal approach using both pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions (El-Tallawy et al, 2021). Although research shows that nonpharmacological pain measures are effective, safe, and feasible (Tang et al, 2019), studies reveal that nurses underutilize them across various healthcare settings (Abu baker et al, 2019; Awad & Hashem, 2019; Khalil, 2018; Kia et al, 2021).…”
