This study aims to evaluate the practice of mothers towards the evaluation and management of postoperative children's pain.According to this study, Parents displayed low to moderate levels of knowledge adequacy towards the use of pain relief methods in relation to their children's postoperative pain and pain management, which indicates the need to provide parents with more information regarding their children's postoperative pain management.
Introduction: Acute postoperative pain in children is common. Although mothers care for their children's pain in most cases, it has been noted that mothers have limited knowledge about pain assessment and management of children.
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the practice of parents towards evaluating and managing postoperative children's pain.
Method: This descriptive correlational study was conducted among 102 parents with children aged between 2 and 12 undergoing elective surgical procedures. Parental use of pain relief strategies (PURPS) and parental postoperative pain management (PPPM) tools were used to collect data on the adequacy of knowledge of using different pain relief strategies and the skill of parental pain assessment, respectively. Investigators used Spearman's rank correlation coefficient to determine the relationships between pain scores given by parents and nurses. The statistical tests were performed at a 95% confidence interval and a 5% significance level.
