Implementation and Evaluation of a Pediatric Pain Assessment Educational Program ( <scp>PPAEP</scp> ) for Nurses in a Resource‐Limited Setting: A Pilot Study

< 0.001). The standard self-efficacy score increased from 58.6 at pre-test to 87.7 at post-test. Participants were satisfied and gave positive feedback on the program. A brief PPAEP is acceptable among nurses in a resource-constrained setting and is associated with improvement in pediatric pain assessment knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy. Future multi-site studies using larger samples and more rigorous designs, such as randomized controlled trials, are needed to evaluate the program's effectiveness.

Abstract

< 0.001). The standard self-efficacy score increased from 58.6 at pre-test to 87.7 at post-test. Participants were satisfied and gave positive feedback on the program. A brief PPAEP is acceptable among nurses in a resource-constrained setting and is associated with improvement in pediatric pain assessment knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy. Future multi-site studies using larger samples and more rigorous designs, such as randomized controlled trials, are needed to evaluate the program's effectiveness.
