Abstrakt: Background: An increased interest has been observed in the wide use of intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) to control acute postoperative pain in both China and Thailand. The safety and efficacy of IV-PCA in patient care requires competent and capable staff nurses. This study aimed to appraise the capabilities of Thai and Chinese registered nurses regarding IV-PCA as a guide to develop educational programs.
Method: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted with 203 Chinese and 270 Thai registered nurses. An anonymous self-report questionnaire addressing 6 domains of capabilities toward IV-PCA was used to collect the data. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyze the data.
Results: The study found that the mean percentage scores (MPS) of the overall capability on IV-PCA of the Thai and Chinese nurse participants were 55.5 (mean [M] = 57.3, standard deviation [SD] = 4.9) and 62.6 (M = 58.7, SD = 13.0), respectively, which indicated very low and low levels. Barriers to the use and care of patients receiving IV-PCA after surgery according to the Thai and Chinese nurse participants included a lack of knowledge and systematic training regarding IV-PCA and a lack of first-hand experience in providing care for IV-PCA patients.
Conclusion: The study results call for intensive and effective training and education concerning all domains for registered nurses involved with patients receiving IV-PCA.
