Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine if patient pain education could improve pain management and increase patient satisfaction scores. A total of eight research studies containing both quantitative and qualitative results were examined. All studies examined how patient perception of their pain management affected their satisfaction with their overall care.In the HCAHPS survey results from July 2014 to June 2015 Temple University Hospital scored below the average for Philadelphia Hospitals in pain management. Median was 71% with Temple scoring 67%. The common theme in all seven articles was the positive correlation between patient education on pain treatment plans and patient satisfaction with pain management.
The effects of structured educational programme in inpatient setting on post operative patients were evaluated and the results presented significant lower pain level and higher patient satisfaction with pain management. Larger studies need to be enacted to focus on patients with acute pain in medical surgical floors to find determinants of patient satisfaction in pain
management that can be addressed in hospital by the medical team.
