Background of the Study
Effective pain management in pediatric patients is a crucial component of healthcare, as children are especially vulnerable to both acute and chronic pain. However, pain management in children presents unique challenges due to factors such as communication difficulties, the need for age-appropriate interventions, and parental concerns. In Borno State, where healthcare infrastructure may be underdeveloped, these challenges are compounded, leading to inadequate pain management for pediatric patients.
Nurses, as the primary caregivers, play a central role in pain assessment and management in children. This study evaluates the barriers to effective pain management in pediatric patients in Borno State, focusing on how nurses' knowledge, resources, and institutional support influence their ability to provide adequate pain relief.
Statement of the Problem
Inadequate pain management in pediatric patients is a significant issue in Borno State, where many children suffer unnecessarily from untreated or poorly managed pain. This study aims to identify the barriers that prevent effective pain management in pediatric patients and to explore how nurses can be better supported to address these challenges.
Objectives of the Study
-
To identify the barriers to effective pain management in pediatric patients in Borno State hospitals.
-
To assess the role of nurses in managing pediatric pain and the challenges they face.
-
To evaluate the impact of these barriers on pediatric patient outcomes and satisfaction.
