Description:
Thesis relevance. Practice shows that during the last few decades pain control after surgical intervention has not been completely effective. Some of the main reasons for this are the differing views on pain by specialists, lack of knowledge regarding pain control as well as organisational problems (Marchertienė ir kt.,2012).
Objective. To present the point of view of nurses and patients in regards to pain control.
Tasks. 1. To present the possibilities of pain control after operation. 2. To compare the point of view of nurses and patients on pharmaceutical pain control. 3. To compare the point of view of nurses and patients on non-pharmaceutical pain control.
Brief thesis description. In this thesis some main methods of pain control are differentiated: evaluation of pain, pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical pain control. The aim during the analysis of this study is to ascertain the point of view of the nurses and patients on the subject of post-operation pain control. The thesis presents the method of study, the conclusions and offers recommendations for nurses as well as the administration of health institutions.
Empirical study method. The research is conducted through a quantitative study method with 40 patients and 40 general practice nurses as participants. A survey was used to find out the point of view of the respondents regarding pain control after operation. The gained results are presented in tables and other graphic visual aids usually in percentages focusing on the mean or averages which were processed through the EXEL (2016) program.
Study results. The respondents in general found pharmaceutical pain control preferential to non-pharmaceutical, although the patients tend to express a bigger partiality to non-pharmaceutical control then the nurses. In the opinion of the participants one of the most effective non-pharmaceutical methods are: changing body position, physiotherapy and kinesitherapy as well as the use of modern technology. Less effective methods they considered: attention distraction and correct breathing technique.
Conclusions. 1. Pain control comprises of: evaluation of pain, pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical pain suppression. 2. The views of nurses and patients differed on the pharmaceutical approach to pain relief. 3. Comparing the point of view of nurses and patients on non-pharmaceutical pain control it has been noted that a number of nurses rarely use non-pharmaceutical pain control methods and are not of the opinion that it is an effective way of controlling pain, the view of the patients on this subject is opposite
