Background of the Study
Pediatric burn patients experience high levels of pain, which can significantly affect their physical and emotional well-being. Effective pain management is critical for improving recovery and reducing long-term trauma in children with burn injuries. However, pain relief in pediatric burn patients can be challenging due to the unique physiological and psychological needs of children, as well as potential barriers in healthcare systems.
In Taraba State, where healthcare resources may be limited, this study seeks to identify the barriers that hinder the effective pain relief for pediatric burn patients, and to understand how nurses can better address these challenges.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the availability of pain management techniques, many pediatric burn patients in Taraba State may still experience inadequate pain relief due to various barriers, including limited resources, inadequate training, and challenges in communication with both the patients and their families. This study will investigate these barriers and propose ways to improve pain management for pediatric burn patients.
