“…One publication presented the results of a pilot study and included 30 nursing students attending a large metropolitan university [ 14 ]. Four of the articles were designed to evaluate and assess healthcare professionals' knowledge of pain management and included the following: 37 registered nurses working in the postanesthesia care unit at a department of anesthesiology and critical care medicine in a university hospital in Baltimore [ 15 ]; 40 registered nurses (22 nurses from an academic medical center and 18 nurses from a community-based regional medical center) and the electronic health records of 58 patients from an academic medical center [ 16 ]; 23 nurses employed in a trauma unit in an urban academic hospital in Western Pennsylvania [ 17 ]; and 51 nurses working at three medical and surgical units at a university hospital in Indiana [ 1 ]. The results are presented in relation to the two research questions.…”

“…However, differences within nursing practice can also affect the success of a patient's pain outcomes. For example, the study conducted by Eaton and colleagues [ 16 ] found that variations among nurses' practices influenced how they implemented evidence-based pain management (EBPM), i.e., years of nursing practice and level of nursing degree, as indicated by nurse documentation gathered from the electronic health record (EHR). They concluded that those involved in promoting an organization's EBP environment should be involved in establishing a standard quality of care, including national recognition as a “magnet designation,” as indicated by the American Nurses Credentialing Centre's Magnet Recognition Program; facilitation of best pain practices; measurement of success; fiscal commitment of human resources and technology; and the evaluation of evidence-based practice [ 16 ].…”

“…These methods were clearly described and were appropriately matched to each study's research aim, adding to the credibility and reliability of the results. A variety of methods were used for collecting and analyzing the data, such as using both quantitative and qualitative analysis of survey results [ 14 ], using a cross-sectional design to analyze questionnaire, medical records, and interview data [ 16 ], as well as quantitative measuring of the effectiveness of the intervention by using a pre- and posttest design, using a survey before and after implementation [ 1 , 6 , 17 ].…”

This is a report of a scoping review undertaken to obtain an overview of studies conducted on pain management education programs (PMEPs). The aim of this review was to describe existing research publications relating to PMEP to map how pain management practice training might directly influence surgical nurses in contributing to successful pain outcomes in patients. The initial search of electronic databases identified 40 articles according to the inclusion criteria and search strategy, which applied the following terms: (“Pain management education program”) AND ∗ OR ∗ (“Nurses”) AND ∗ OR ∗ (“Patient outcomes”) AND ∗ (“Mixed methods”). Titles, abstracts, and keywords were also searched for the term “Nurse education.” After applying exclusion criteria, five relevant peer-reviewed articles were eventually selected for the final charting of the data. The search included articles published between January 2015 and March 2019. The results show that PMEPs employ a variety of computer-based simulation, web-based facilitation, and video materials based on an evidence-based approach in their syllabuses. PMEPs were shown to enhance practice by promoting improved skills in critical thinking, leadership, patient management, and health promotion. Additionally, these programs promote an ability to practice across a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings, wherein nurses’ engagement in managing patients’ pain increased after completing the PMEP. Research within PMEP indicates that these programs may contribute to promoting opportunities for new collaborations within multidisciplinary team projects. Additionally, further research initiatives are needed to explore various aspects of these programs to enhance the nursing skills required for effective pain management, such as computer-based simulation, web-based facilitation, and video materials. Moreover, research relating to PMEPs in low- and middle-income countries is scarce and warrants further study.

The Mediating Effect of Model-Based Learning on Attitude and Pain Management Awareness Among Nurses During COVID 19 Pandemic in Saudi Arabia

2021

Background All hospitals are required to provide high-quality pain management; one of the most critical issues in achieving high-quality pain management is that the hospitals have a clear plan to manage the patients’ pain and improve the nurses’ awareness of pain management during the COVID 19 pandemic. However, there is a significant gap in the literature that this study can cover. Aim This study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of model-based learning on nurses’ attitudes toward nurses’ pain management awareness during the COVID 19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia government hospitals. Method The Heath Beliefs Model was used, with a quasi-experimental design, with per experimental one group pre-test post-test design, and a quantitative approach using self-administered questionnaires obtained from 330 nurses working with patients suffering from pain. IBM SPSS V23 and Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS)V23 were applied to analyze the causal relationships between the variables. Results A two-step approach to analyze the study: the first step was to test the measurement models’ constructs’ reliability and validity. The second step was to test research hypotheses in the structural models. The results show a significant positive relationship between model-based learning and pain management awareness among nurses during COVID 19 pandemic. Furthermore, model-based learning fully mediated the relationship between nurses’ attitudes and pain management awareness. Conclusions The study successfully improved nurses’ attitudes toward pain management awareness among nurses during COVID 19 pandemic. These findings will help strengthen the debate in the existing literature, and this is a new development window in the pain management area.

“…23,24 The study found that weak ability was a major reason preventing SNs from participating in scientific research activities. 25 However, medicine is an increasingly developing discipline, which requires the SNs to keep pace with the times. The SNs need to master cutting-edge information in the specialty field.…”

Establishing Performance Evaluation for Quality Inspection of Specialty Nurses

et al. 2021

Purpose The present study aimed to establish an index system for the performance evaluation of specialty nurses (SNs) in tertiary hospitals. Background An objective index system for performance evaluation of SN has not yet been established in China. Design A 2-round Delphi survey sought opinions from experts about the index system for SNs' performance evaluation in tertiary hospitals in China. Methods Delphi survey was used to inquire approximately 20 experts from the fields of nursing management, nursing education, and clinical nursing. We determined the weight coefficient of each index of performance evaluation based on the opinion. Finally, the index of the quality evaluation was established for SN. Results A total of 20 experts from 10 provinces in China reached a consensus on the tertiary indexes of the assessment model. The indexes contained first-level (4), second-level (16), and third-level (24) indicators. The 4 aspects of the performance evaluation, including clinical specialist practice assessment, nursing research, education assessment, medical cooperation recognition, and personal comprehensive ability assessment, reached consensus. Conclusion Establishing the performance evaluation for SNs aided the SNs in achieving the best clinical practice after training. The performance evaluation still needed to be continuously improved.
