Abstract EN
The aim of this study was to assess a sample of Jordanian nurses’ knowledge and attitudes towards pain management.
A convenience sample of 202 Jordanian registered nurses with a baccalaureate degree in nursing was studied.
Data were collected using Ferrell and McCaffery’s Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain and a selfreport general nursing information form.
The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and one-way analyses of variance in order to determine differences in survey scores in accordance with the subjects’ demographic, behavioral, and work-related characteristics.
The overall percentage of correct responses to the KASRP was 41.41 %.
The difference in the overall KASRP score was statistically significant in the aspect of nurses’ use of objective tools (F = 3.593, p < .05).
Our results suggest that continuing educational programs on pain management for nurses would be useful to increase nurses’ pain-related knowledge and attitude.
