Pain affects more than 76 million adults in the United States and is the number one reason people seek medical attention (Joint Commission, 2013, Zacharoff, Pujol, & Corsini, 2010). Although pain management is considered a top priority in health care, it continues to be inadequately addressed (Duke, Haas, Yarbrough, & Northam, 2013). The basis for nursing intervention and a critical component of effective pain management is pain knowledge and assessment (Al-Shaer, Hill, and Anderson, 2011). A nurse’s perception of pain can be influenced by their knowledge and past experiences of pain, the patient’s demographic (Manias, Botti, & Bucknall, 2002) as well as the nurse’s years of experience and degree preparation (Al-Shaer, Hill, & Anderson, 2011). The purpose of this quality improvement pilot study is to determine if the presentation of a three hour class titled Pain Types, Assessment, and Management will enhance nurse’s knowledge regarding pain. In this single group pretest/posttest design, the 37 item Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain (KASRP) survey tool (Ferrell & McCaffrey, 2012) was used for both the pretest and posttest. A paired-samples t-test was conducted to evaluate the impact of pain education intervention on the scores of the KASRP. There was a statistically significant increase in KASRP scores from the pretest (M=21.72, SD=3.46) to the post test (M=23.50, SD =3.66), t (17) = -2.618, p <.05 (two- tailed). The mean increase in KASRP scores was 1.77 with a confidence interval from 3.21 to 3.45. Future educational offerings as well as quality improvement projects will be generated based upon the findings.
