| Summary: | The very act of living constitutes being vulnerable to feeling pain at any point in the life course.
The nurses are one of the main actors and in fact the most more importants when providing care
to the patient with pain. The deficit of knowledges commits the patient´s wellness exposing him
to largely avoidable suffering. Objective: identify the level of knowledge of nursing professionals
on pain management based on a narrative review of the literature. Methodology: A narrative
review of the literature was carried out under the method of the five phases of the autores
Whittemore and Knafl. An Excel matrix was designed for the evaluation and analysis stage of the
review data. Results: 70.4% of the studies reported that nurses obtained an unacceptable level of
knowledge about pain management. The overall average percentage of studies reporting that
nurses had an acceptable level of knowledge about pain management was 22.2%. There is great
ignorance at the pharmacological level especially in the doses of morphine and other analgesics
useful in pain management. Nurses know the techniques for pain relief, but at the same time they
have poor knowledge to evaluate and thus treat pain, especially in distrust of the pain report and
the patient’s consideration as the best judge of pain. The most frequently identified determinants
in the level of knowledge of nurses on pain management were absence of pain management
training programs, professional experience, and pain training. Conclusions: The level of
knowledge about pain management among nursing professionals is insufficient and unacceptable,
especially knowledge at the pharmacological level, pain assessment and general concepts. Nurses
have acceptable knowledge of non-pharmacological pain management. There are certain factors
that influence the level of knowledge about pain management among nursing professionals that
should be considered important in providing adequate pain relief. |
