| Abstract | ||
| Background: Lack of proper understanding of important pediatric acute pain management concepts can lead to under-treatment of pediatric pain and ultimately impact the quality of child care. Today's multimedia training methods are considered important and necessary for continuous and lifelong education. Aim: to evaluate the effect of an educational program through a lecture versus multimedia methods on pediatric nurses’ knowledge and attitude regarding acute pain management. Subjects and Methods: Design: A quasi-experimental design is used in this study. Setting: The study was conducted in pediatric wards in Sohag, Egypt. Sample: A convenient sample included 45 pediatric nurses are randomly divided into two groups. The tool used for data collection consists of two parts: Part I deals with the demographic characteristics of nurses as designed by the researchers. Part II is based on the pediatric nurses’ knowledge and attitudes survey (PNKAS) on pain; it was designed by Manworren (2001). Results:The study showedthat the multimedia group < /div> showed an improvement in their knowledge compared to the lecture group, the majority of them after program implementation was satisfactory level regarding the knowledge and attitude on pain management with highly significant differences ((p <0.001). The pediatric nurses’ total knowledge means scores showed improvement in the multimedia group compared to the lecture group < /div> immediately, one week, and one month after program implementation. A significant improvement is observed in pediatric nurses' knowledge retention one month after educational program implementation. Conclusion: Both lecture and multimedia methods of education improved the level of knowledge and attitude of pediatric nurses in pediatric acute pain management by the PNKAS scale. However, the nurses’ level of knowledge and attitude in the multimedia group was higher than that in the lecture group. Recommendations: Future multimedia studies should examine the pediatric nurses’ improvement in their knowledge, attitudes and practices as well as retention of knowledge over an extended period. | ||
