Understanding the knowledge and practices of doctors and hospital staff in acute pain management among patients
Keywords:
Understanding the knowledge, hospital staff, patientsAbstract
The study took place at a tertiary care teaching hospital with facilities for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and training. The study aimed at understanding the knowledge and practices of doctors and hospital staff in the management of acute pain among patients for effective pain management practices (M. A. Fallatah, 2017). This hospital has 700 beds and is located in western India. The data collection form included the patient’s details, pain details, pain score assessment done, medicines used, time and route of drug administration, serial numbers of the forms of the doctors, duration of drug administration, and other pain relief methods used. The patient’s perception and satisfaction with pain relief were also assessed. The completed Performa was collected from doctors and hospital staff as soon as possible after the patient was discharged or shifted. The same Performa was used in all three areas studied: the accident and emergency department (A&E), the major operation theaters, and the wards. In the A & E, direct interview was done using the Performa as the casualty work is managed by the same emergency medical officers on the same day of the casualty services.
