  • Title: Evaluating an educational approach to improve pain assessment in hospitalized patients.
    Author: Michaels TK, Hubbartt E, Carroll SA, Hudson-Barr D.
    Journal: J Nurs Care Qual; 2007; 22(3):260-5. PubMed ID: 17563596.
    Abstract:
    Pain assessment is a multifaceted process. A common assumption is that all nurses have the same baseline knowledge about pain, a potentially erroneous assumption that influences clinical practice. Nurses have varied experiences in education and pain management. This article describes a research project conducted by the hospital's clinical nurse specialist group to evaluate the effects of a nursing education program on pain assessment and pain management of hospitalized patients in an 841-bed academic medical center.
