Pain assessement and management in surgical cancer patients: pilot and evaluation of a continuing education program.

In a pilot study, a continuing education program on pain assessment and management was implemented and evaluated. Questionnaires were completed by the nurse participants at the beginning, the end, and 2 months after the end of the pilot program. After the pilot program, participants reported having engaged in qualitatively improved psychosocial pain-reducing interventions. Findings from the pilot study were used to develop a definitive program and questionnaires of a larger intervention study. This article illustrates the usefulness of initially conducting research on a small-scale basis. (aut. ref.

Continuing pain education in nursing: a literature review.

Twelve studies on the effects of pain programmes for nurses were reviewed. Most of the programmes focused on aspects of pain, pain medication or pain assessment. Only two programmes (Ferrell et al., 1993, J. Pain Symptom Management, Vol. 8, No. 8, pp. 549-556; Sofaer, 1983, Nurs. Times, Vol. 79, No. 47, pp. 38-42; 1984, Ph.D. Thesis, University of Edinburgh) also paid attention to non-pharmacological nursing interventions. Randomized control groups, established measurement instruments, testing statistics, and long-term follow-up measurements, were not often used in the effect evaluation of the programmes. Effects reported on both nurses and patients were for the most part positive. Given the small number of studies and their methodological limitations, further research into the effectiveness of continuing pain education in nursing is indicated.(aut. ref.

Determinants of changes in nurses' behaviour after continuing education: a literature review.

Nursing continuing-education programmes may differ in the extent to which they affect nursing practice. Differences may be explained by characteristics of the participants' background, the programme itself, teacher(s), relationship between participants, relationship between participants and teacher(s), physical environment during the programme, participants' social system, knowledge, skills and attitudes, and intention to change. In this literature review, a model is presented which integrates these variables and which may be used to explain why continuing-education programmes have no, little or considerable effect. On the basis of current scientific knowledge, colleagues' and superiors' support emerges as the most important determinant of behavioural changes in nursing practice. (aut. ref.
