INTRODUCTION: Efficient pain management by nursing staff initially needs accurate knowledge and proper attitude in this field. The aim of present study was to compare the effects of lecture and electronic education on the knowledge, attitude, and practice of nursing staff regarding pain management. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present superiority randomized controlled trial with two parallel arms was conducted on 78 occupied nurses of surgery wards of X. The participants were recruited randomly and divided into two groups of lecture and electronic education through random blocking (4 and 6 blocks). For allocation concealment, coded nontransparent pockets numbered 1–78 containing the type of intervention were used. Educational material was presented using teacher-centered method in lecture group, as well as through multimedia program using FLASH software in e-learning group through 1-h sessions for 4 weeks. Data on nurses were collected before and 4 weeks after the training using demographic questionnaire, Pain Management Principles Assessment Tool, Nurses’ Attitude Survey, and nursing practice checklist. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 24) utilizing descriptive and analytic statistical test such as Chi-square, Fisher, independent t-test, and ANCOVA. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: Mean ± standard deviation of nurses’ knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding pain management had significant increase in both groups post-training (P < 0.001). According to ANCOVA the mean postintervention knowledge score in e-learning group by controlling baseline score had significant increase compared to the lecture group (adjusted mean difference [aMD] = 1.8: 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.5–2.1, P < 0.001). Furthermore, the mean of total scores of post-intervention attitude and practice in e-learning group adjusted for baseline score significantly increased compared to lecture group (aMD = 1.8: 95% CI = 1.5–2.1, P < 0.001) and (aMD = 3.2: 95% CI = 2.7–3.6, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Electronic education was more efficient than lecture education in increasing of knowledge, attitude, and practice on pain management among nursing staff.

“…[ 24 ] A possible explanation is the deficiency of pain management education in their nursing curricula. [ 25 ] It has been shown that introduction of a short pain management course for final-year medical students improved their knowledge with regard to pain and led to better pain management. [ 26 ] Furthermore, a recent study that assessed undergraduate nursing students' pain knowledge after participation in a simulation scenario recommended that future pain simulations should be included to give more opportunities for students to choose appropriate pain medications when “as needed orders” are prescribed.…”

“…At the same time, Romero-Hall (5) emphasises that nursing students' knowledge of pain management can also be influenced by outdated and incorrect information from both supervisors and the school's curriculum. As well, nurses do often refer to knowledge from their own education program rather than updated research in pain knowledge (5).…”

Title: Nursing students' application of knowledge about pain assessment in surgical practice Background: The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) has developed specific learning objectives for bachelor nursing students' pain curriculum. Earlier studies emphasise the importance of strengthening knowledge of pain management in nursing programs. Nevertheless, there is little research exploring how nursing students develop and achieve their learning outcomes related to the topic of pain. Aim: The aim of the study was to explore how surgical practice students apply their knowledge about pain assessment, and what might affect their learning outcomes. Methods: The study followed a qualitative research methodology with a descriptive design. Data were collected from two different modules and student groups in the bachelor program. Part 1: Document analysis of theoretical exam answers (N=12). Part 2: Two group interviews was conducted where students in surgical practice participated (N=6). A qualitative content analysis was carried out resulting in descriptive subtopics and findings. Findings: The findings illustrate that participants in surgical practice utilised much of the knowledge described in the exam answers. However, their specific application of knowledge couldt be limited by the supervision situation and unclear routines in the clinic. Conclusion: The study illuminates the importance of further research both within theoretical and clinical studies to improve student`s knowledge in pain management.
