attitudes, beliefs and perceptions of children’s pain, self-efficacy, and perceived barriers to
optimal post-operative pain management in children

Background: Although post-operative painmanagement has been researched extensively, it does not receive the same attention
from Children nurses in Saudi Arabia. Practices are not based on sound evidence, but there is a willingness to improve. The
factors to be addressed in this study had not been considered together in any study, and each in turn is supported by only
minimal evidence of variable quality. No work of significance had been undertaken in the context of Saudi Arabia or other
Gulf nations.
Aims: To test the impact of implementing an interactive postoperative pain management education programme on children
nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and perceptions of children’s pain; self-efficacy; and perceptions of barriers to optimal
practice.
Methods: A quasi-experimental approach with a non-equivalent group, pre-test post-test design was used. A sample of 229
children nurses working in surgical units in Hail region hospitals was recruited and completed four questionnaires on three
occasions, before the intervention, and at one and three months afterwards. The intervention was an interactive educational
programme on DVD with explanations, exercises, video presentations and self-check games.
Results: Preliminary findings have shown a significant improvement in children nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and
perceptions of children’s pain, self-efficacy, and perceptions of barriers to optimal practice after receiving the education
programme.
