Surveys of post-operative pain management in a teaching hospital in Rwanda — 2013 and 2017

Abstract: Background: Postoperative pain management (POPM) appeared to be weak in Rwanda. Aims: The aim of this study was to compare POPM measures in a teaching hospital between 2013 and 2017. Methods: A two-phase observational study in 2013 and 2017. was conducted. Participants were recruited prior to major surgery and followed for two postoperative days.

“…A meta-analysis demonstrated modest and inconsistent results from QICs employing a variety of tactics for training, supervision, and infrastructure development [15]. This is consistent within a large Rwandan hospital, where no improvement in post-operative pain was reported between 2013-2017 [4]. It is unfortunate that there is limited longitudinal data demonstrating sustainability of QICs as "progressive implementation of affordable, cost-effective, and equitable NCDI [non-communicable disease and injury] interventions between 2020 and 2030 could save the lives of more than 4.6 million of the world's poorest" [12].…”

“…The focus on pain care effectiveness, implications for patient recovery, and recognition of pain management as a human right have become issues central to the discourse around equitable healthcare [1][2][3]. Providing effective perioperative pain care is a challenge in Africa and around the world [4][5][6][7]. Beyond human suffering, poor acute pain treatment can result in the development of chronic pain, a condition that is experienced by one in five individuals in African countries [6,[8][9][10].…”

“…Most patients who undergo surgical experience acute postoperative pain. Still, evidence suggests that less than half report adequate postoperative pain relief (Chou et al, 2016), and it is important for registered nurses to have the knowledge and good practices regarding postoperative pain assessment tools to provide optimum pain management (McKay et al, 2019;Teshome, Aychew, Mitiku & Guta, 2022;Wurjine & Nigussie, 2018).…”
