Ağrı ile ilişkili girişimler konusunda hemşirelerin bilgi ve yaklaşımları

Amaç: Bu çalışma hemşirelerin ağrısı olan hastalarda hemşirelik girişimlerinin ve ağrı kavramına ilişkin bilgilerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı olarak yapılan araştırmanın evrenini bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinde çalışan 900 hemşire, örneklemini ise 100 hemşire oluşturmuştur. Çalışmanın verileri araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan ve hemşirelerin mesleki ve sosyo-demografik özellikleri ile ağrıya ilişkin bilgi ve uygulamalarının sorgulandığı anket formu kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin %57.0’ının kronik ağrı deneyimlerinin olduğu, %81’inin lisans eğitimlerinde ağrı kavramına ilişkin eğitim aldıkları, %65.0’ının ağrıya ilişkin hizmet içi eğitim almadıkları ve %84.0’ının ağrıya ilişkin herhangi bir yayın takip etmedikleri belirlenmiştir. Hemşirelerin %41.0’ı sıklıkla ve her zaman ağrısı olan hastalar ile karşılaştıklarını, %62.0’ı çalıştıkları klinikte ağrı tanılaması yaptıklarını ve %65.0’ı ağrı tanılama formu kullanmadıklarını, %74.0’ı ağrı kontrolünde farmakolojik yöntemleri kullandıklarını, %69.0’ı ağrı kontrol yöntemi kullandıktan sonra hastanın ağrısının geçip geçmediğini sorduklarını, %53.0’ı ağrı tanılamasını hasta ve yakınlarının sözlü ifadeleri ile değerlendirdikleri ve %70’inin nonfarmakolojik yöntemlere ilişkin bilgi sahibi olduklarını belirtmişlerdir. Sonuç: Hemşirelerin çoğunluğunun ağrı tanılaması yaptıkları ancak ağrı tanılamasında herhangi bir ağrı tanılama formu kullanmadıkları saptanmıştır. Hemşirerlerin ağrının fizyolojik göstergeleri, hastaların ağrı cevabını etkileyen faktörler ile plasebo kullanımı konusunda bilgi gereksinimlerinin olduğu belirlenmiştir.
