Abstract

Introduction. Pain is defined by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience. Therefore, the role of nursing in this fifth vital constant is fundamental. The objective of this study was to describe the level of knowledge and attitudes of professional nurses and nursing assistants regarding pain in a tertiary health care institution in Bucaramanga, Colombia. Methodology. A descriptive cross-sectional study, with a sample of 162 participants. The Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain was used. Inclusion criteria: Professional nurses and assistants with at least three months in service. Exclusion criteria: Nursing students and nurses with formative and non-missional tasks. Results. The average age was 31 years, 86.4% female, and the average number of years of experience in service was 1.54 years. The percentage of correct answers in knowledge was 30.7% for professional nurses and 25.6% for assistants. Discussion. Although some international studies have evaluated knowledge and attitudes regarding pain using the same survey, this study is the first in Colombia that compares nurses and assistants, showing better percentages of correct answers and a greater number of questions with results classified as "satisfactory." Conclusions. The level of knowledge and attitudes regarding pain obtained from the nurses is higher than that of assistants. However, specific weaknesses in these areas were identified in both populations.
