Abstract
Nurses should have a strong understanding and a positive attitude toward post-operative pain to estimate
patients' conditions and provide personalized care to each patient for minimizing distress and improve life satisfaction.
So, study aim was to assess nurses’ knowledge, attitudes and perceived barriers towards pain management among post
operative patients. Design, A descriptive cross-sectional design was conducted in surgical wards in Mansoura University
Hospitals and Gastrointestinal surgical center. Sample, consisted of all available nurses (150 Nurse) who were caring of
patients post operatively in surgical words in previously mentioned setting. Tool, A structured self-administered
questionnaire with four parts assessing knowledge, behavior, and perceived barriers to post-operative pain management
was used to collect data. Results, found that the majority of nurses (94%) have a good attitude toward post-operative
pain management and that (58.7%) of the nurses in the study have appropriate knowledge on this field. It also showed
that system-related barriers were the most widely recognized obstacles to post-operative pain assessment and
management (69.96%), whereas patient-related barriers were seen to be less of barriers (65.83%). This study illustrated
that there was a significant correlation between nurses’ knowledge and attitude regarding post operative pain
management (p.000). Conclusion, concluded that study participants have significantly inadequate knowledge as well as
positive attitudes concerning the assessment and management of post operative pain. It was also concluded that nurses
encounter several barriers while attempting to give post-operative patients with the best pain assessment and
management.
