Abstract
Ineffective pain management continues to pose a significant public health problem. Barriers to pain management include physicians and nurses, patients and families, and regulations. Even nurses who have learned to manage pain may not do it effectively because they feel that it is not a priority within their institution. The purpose of this study was to assess what hospices do to support pain management and hospice nurses' knowledge of pain management.
The research questions assessed pain management knowledge of hospice nurses compared to that of other nurses; source of knowledge; the relationship between pain management knowledge and nurse variables; what hospices do to support pain management; the relationship between what organizations do to support pain management and nurses' knowledge; the relationship between nurses' perceptions of organizational support and what their organizations report; and the relationship between support for pain management and hospice demographic variables.
