Background of the Study
Pain management is an essential aspect of post-surgical care, as inadequate pain relief can hinder recovery, prolong hospital stays, and negatively affect patients' quality of life. Nurses are key in assessing pain levels and implementing effective pain management strategies, including the administration of analgesics, use of alternative therapies, and patient education.
In Yobe State, where healthcare resources are often limited, ensuring that nurses are adequately trained in pain assessment and management is vital for improving post-surgical outcomes. This study investigates the role of nurses in assessing and managing pain in post-surgical patients and the impact of their practices on patient satisfaction and recovery.

Inadequate pain management is a common issue in many healthcare facilities, particularly in resource-limited settings. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of nurses’ pain assessment and management practices in post-surgical patients in Yobe State hospitals, identifying potential gaps in practice and opportunities for improvement.
