ABSTRACT

Objective:

To investigate parentsknowledge and attitude toward post-operative pain management in pediatric orthopedics and analyze influencing factors.

Methods:

A total of 170 parents of 6 to 16 years old children who underwent selective surgeries and were hospitalized because of limb fracture were conveniently selected in Children′s Hospital of Soochow University from April to December in 2019, They were investigated using the general data questionnaire, Pain Management Knowledge and Attitudes Questionnaire.

Results:

There were 167 parents completed questionnaires in our study. The mean score of parentsknowledge, general attitude and negative attitude to pain medication were 15.0(3.00), 24.0(4.00) and 17.0(3.00) respectively. There were statistical differences between different educational levels of parentsknowledge ( χ2 value was11.599, P=0.021), as well as different age of parent′s general attitude ( χ2 value was 7.053, P=0.029). Spearman-related results showed that parentscognition was positively correlated with general attitudes ( r value was 0.394, P<0.01).

Conclusions:

The majority of parents are at moderate to high level of knowledge, general attitude and negative attitude to pain medication. Pediatric nurses should pay more attention to parentsknowledge deficit of and negative attitude toward pain assessment tools and pain-drugs to develop targeted educational intervention programs for promoting parental involvement.
