Résumé
Purpose: To describe factors associated with nurses’ attitudes or lack of knowledge regarding pain
management in adult inpatients.
Design: Transverse descriptive survey-based study.
Methods: This was a transverse descriptive survey-based study. The population was obtained through
non probabilistic convenience sampling. The Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain was made
available to 470 nurses at a tertiary level hospital. Associations were sought with the unit where
assigned, years of experience, specific training on pain, and postgraduate education.
Results: The sample included 134 nurses with a mean age of 41.6 ± 10.8 years; 87% were women, 64%
worked rotating shifts, 64% had more than 10 years of experience, and 31% had specific training in pain
management. The greatest number of correct responses was obtained from nurses with specific training
in pain management (p ¼ .001) and nurses who worked in units of surgical hospitalization (p ¼ .004).
The lack of training was associated with a deficit in knowledge and inadequate attitudes about pain
management. In nurses with less than 10 years of experience, worse results were observed in knowledge,
whereas the unit of work was decisive in the results about attitude (p < .05).
Conclusions: Among the nurses surveyed, some knowledge gaps were detected, as were certain inap propriate attitudes, associated with lack of training, lack of experience, and being assigned to specific hospitalization units.
