Abstract

This cross-sectional descriptive study assessed pain management knowledge, attitudes, and related factors among 99 nurses at Bim Son General Hospital, Thanh Hoa, Vietnam, conducted from September 2021 to April 2022. Using a modified version of the Nurses' Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain (NKASRP), the study found that nurses' knowledge scores were low (mean 2.29 ± 1.27 out of 11) and attitude scores were also low (mean 10.79 ± 2.38 out of 22). Among demographic factors, only age showed a statistically significant association with attitude toward pain management (p = 0.001). A significant positive correlation was found between knowledge scores and attitude scores (r = 0.236, p = 0.036), indicating that nurses with better pain-management knowledge tended to hold more positive attitudes toward pain care. The authors recommend that the hospital strengthen continuous training programs and provide appropriate pain-assessment tools, while nurses should proactively update their knowledge—particularly regarding pain assessment and analgesic medications—to improve the quality of patient care.
