|
|
Purpose: This study was done to investigate nursing students’ knowledge on children’s pain.
Methods: The subjects were 389 nursing students in a university and a college. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires and analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 14.0 program.
Results: Nursing students’ knowledge on children’s pain were generally low. Knowledge on analgesics was ranked the lowest. The levels of knowledge on children’s pain of the students were different by gender, grade, academic achievement, the learning experience on pain, and the experience with chronic pain.
Conclusion: The results of this study suggests that nursing students do not know children’s pain thoroughly, and general characteristics and learning experience of the students make an effect on the knowledge. Therefore, the education programs on children’s pain are needed to improve the knowledge of nursing students.
