Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to summarize current post-pain control techniques for fracture patients in southern Ethiopia. Elderly and sensory impaired people with fractures are more likely to be undertreated for pain, particularly if they have gait instability at any stage of the fracture. Previous research has revealed little about the efficacy of acute pain therapy in people with fractures and gait instabilities.

Methodology: In this study, data on latest pain management practices were collected from 124 nursing staff via questionnaire. They worked in the operating rooms of Bule Hora Hospital, Ethiopia. The questionnaire received a 54 percent response rate. Factor analysis and parametric methods were used to analyze the data.

Results: Half of those interviewed (54%) said that post-operative pain care for fracture patients was adequate. Only about a third of respondents said they used pain scales on their unit, with VAS being the most popular. The usage of pain scales was strongly associated to respondents' evaluations of something like the sufficiency of post-operative pain management in this patient group (p = 0.001).

Conclusion: The findings can be used in nursing practice and research to develop complementing teaching programs for surgical ward nurses. More study is needed to describe the current state of pain management procedures from the perspective of fracture patients. Keywords: Pain, fracture, post-operative pain, surgical pain, nursing staff.
