Global perceptions of pain management
Abstract
Nursing pain management is closely related to decision making-process, which includes continuous estimate, intervention, monitoring the effect of treatment, identifying the need for changes and alternative treatment. It is generally assumed that education and practical experience increases accuracy in decision-making. Benner presented an extensive theory that suggests five levels of proficiency that nurses pass in acquisition and development of skills from novice to expert. However, this theory does not examine strategies of decision making during these stages. The purpose of the study: (1) to identify the cognitive processes used by nurses when making pain management decisions and the factors which have an influence on these processes. (2) to examine the difference between novice, intermediate and expert nurses, in their decision making about pain management.
