It was found that there were no significant differences between nurses’ sociodemographic characteristics and the total knowledge and attitude score (p> 0.05). The working at a surgical clinic was 32.6% and 92.4% were worked as primary care nurses in clinic. Average age of nurses 35.15±8.97-, and 48–57-year age group had the highest pain attitude and behavior score, and higher scores health vocational level.Conclusion: The study indicates that nurses do moderate level knowledge and attitude about management of pain.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, hemşirelerin ağrı yönetimine ilişkin bilgi ve tutumlarının demografik özellikleri ile ilişkisini belirlemektir.,Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı araştırma tasarımı kullanıldı. Araştırma bir devlet hastanesinde çalışan 172 hemşire ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma öncesi ilgili kurumdan izin alınmıştır (Tarih: 22.01.2019, No: 82965765). Araştırmacılar tarafından çalışmaya başlamadan önce hemşirelere çalışmanın amacı açıklandı. Araştırma verileri Hemşire Tanıtım Formu ve Hemşirelerin Ağrıya İlişkin Bilgi ve Tutum Anketi kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Çalışma anketi her katılımcıya tanıtıldı ve her katılımcıdan soruları yanıtlaması istendi. Doldurulan anketler, araştırmacılar tarafından kontrol edildikten sonra toplanmıştır.Bulgular: Sonuçlar, ortalama bilgi puanının 10.75±2.11 ve ağrıya ilişkin tutum puanının 12.65±2.33 olduğunu gösterdi. Hemşirelerin sosyodemografik özellikleri ile toplam bilgi ve tutum puanları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık olmadığı bulundu (p> 0.05). Hemşirelerin %32.6'sı cerrahi kliniğinde, ve %92.4'ü klinik hemşiresi olarak çalışmaktadır. Hemşirelerin yaş ortalaması 35.15±8.97, ve 48-57 yaş grubunda ağrı tutum ve davranış puanı en yüksek, sağlık meslek lisesi mezunlarının puanları daha yüksekti.Sonuç: Araştırma, hemşirelerin ağrı yönetimi konusunda orta düzeyde bilgi ve tutum sergilediklerini göstermektedir. Hemşirelerin ağrı yönetimine yönelik tutumlarını geliştirmek için ağrı eğitim programlarının standardize edilmesi gerekmektedir.
