The information that patients, their families, and medical staff wish to know about postoperative pain and its management. Results of the survey after mixed surgical procedures
We found that healthcare providers and patients differ in the some aspects of postoperative pain management they consider important. Patients and families were interested in post-discharge pain management, while medical staff rated pain characteristics and management in immediate period the highest. For all groups, the preferred time for providing information about perioperative pain was before surgery at the pre-operative clinic by an anesthesiologist or surgeon.
