Tóm tắt

Background: Pain management is an essential component of the healthcare process, aiding in the assessment, monitoring, and implementation of effective treatment methods to minimize and control patients’ pain, and integrating it into comprehensive care. Objectives: To describe the knowledge and attitudes regarding pain management among nursing students at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy and to identify some related factors. Materials and methods: This study employed a descriptive cross-sectional design involving 93 third- and fourth-year nursing students at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy. The study utilized the “Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain” scale, which has been validated for reliability (Cronbach’s alpha > 0.7). Results: The study revealed that the majority of students exhibited inadequate knowledge and attitudes towards pain management, with 76.34% (n=71) classified as poor and 23.66% (n=22) as moderate. Factors associated with students’ knowledge and attitudes regarding pain management included prior education on pain management, personal pain experiences, and previous experience in caring for individuals in pain. Conclusion: The knowledge and attitudes regarding pain management among nursing students are low. Therefore, it is necessary to implement continuous teaching and training programs for this group to meet professional competency standards and enhance the quality of education.
