Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study will explore nurses' pediatric postoperative pain management knowledge and clinical practices. The aim is to evaluate if a tailored educational intervention will improve nurses' knowledge and attitudes of pain management and pain management practices. The intervention offered is education and skills training. The study has a pre-post design and a comparison group. Data is collected before the intervention is started (baseline T1) and again one month (T2) and six months (T3) after the intervention. Nurses working in six postoperative units are participating. The units are the largest pediatric postoperative units of each of the six university hospitals covering all health regions in Norway. Three different approaches will be used to collect data (survey with questionnaire, observations of clinical practice, and interviews with children).
