Key Points

  • This research aims to explore the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of emergency nurses regarding pain assessment and acuity assignment.
  • Conducted a mixed methods study
  • Analyzed emergency nurses' knowledge and attitudes regarding pain management

Abstract

There is a significant tension between what emergency nurses state related to knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors about pain assessment and management and how they describe the process of assigning acuity when pain is the primary concern. Further research on the impact of both education related to pain assessment and management and bias training on the decision-making processes of emergency nurses related to acuity is warranted.
