Brief Summary

The assessment of pain plays a crucial role in pain management. Nurses are instrumental in the identification, evaluation, and initiation of pain management strategies. In the literature, it is strongly recommended to provide education about postoperative pain management to patients, their families, and those responsible for patient care. Additionally, the development of a pain management plan and goals is advocated. The optimal timing, content, and objectives of patient education depend on the type of pain (acute or chronic), the availability and effectiveness of treatment, and the patient's level of education and literacy. Educating individuals undergoing elective surgery or outpatient treatment about the likelihood and magnitude of acute pain they may experience, as well as informing them about available methods to prevent or alleviate this pain, is critical for pain management. Shindo et al. conducted a study suggesting that perioperative pain education significantly reduces postoperative opioid use. According to the Health Belief Model, an individual's perception of health is influenced by their perception of the value of health, beliefs about illness, and beliefs about the consequences of illness. Therefore, when a patient's health beliefs and attitudes are determined, health education and treatment planning can be tailored more appropriately.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Pain level

  we will use to measure patient pain level Numeric Pain Scale (NPS) several times. The intensity of pain will measure the area in which the individual mark between 0 (no pain) and 10 (worst pain i felt in my life).

  before operation and after surgery in the 30 days process

• Pain Beliefs

  we will use to measure patient' pain belief with Pain Beliefs Questionnaire. Edwards and coworkers developed this survey to measure patients' pain beliefs in 1992. the survey has 12 questions. Likert-type scale items range from 1. (never) to 6 (always). An increase in the score obtained from the scale sub-dimension indicates a high pain belief in the sub-dimension, and a decrease in the score indicates a low pain belief in the relevant sub-dimension. Thanks to this survey we can measure both psychological and organic pain beliefs of patients. we will use the survey several times in different stages.

Study Arms (2)

control group

NO INTERVENTION

The patient who assign to control group, they will give standard ward care before surgery and we measure their pain beliefs and pain level. After operation we will asses their pain beliefs and pain level. the last measure will be carried out after 30 days operation.

experimental group

EXPERIMENTAL

The patient who assign to experimental group, we will measure their pain beliefs and pain level before surgery. After that a researcher will give an education before operation to these patients about pain, potential pain and pain management after surgery. we will asses these patients pain beliefs and pain level after surgery and 30 days later again.

Other: education

Interventions

education OTHER

we will give an education to experimental group about pain and pain management.
