Abstract
Theme: Nursing education, management and leadership. Successful pain management contributes to high-quality postoperative care. To estimate the intensity of postoperative pain in children after an educational intervention. Surgical ward nurses after educational intervention recorded 146 children (0-16 years) postoperative pain scores, applying FLACC, FACES, NRS according to child's age during December 2012 to March 2014. The mean values of children's pain scores at the reception, 24h and 48h after surgery was 0,99 ± 1,68, 0,6 ± 1,43 and 0,13 ± 0,79 respectively. The median pain scores for the 1st and 2nd 24-hour seemed to correlate with the duration of surgery (p = 0.048). Only 20% of cases applied some form of non-pharmacological pain method that was associated with the child's age (p = 0,001). Special care should be taken about using non-pharmacological pain control methods. Postoperative pain management programs contribute to effective deal.
