The use of nonpharmacological methods for children's postoperative pain relief: Singapore nurses' perspectives.
The purpose of this study was to examine nurses' use of nonpharmacological methods for school-age children's postoperative pain relief. ⋯ Nurses need training and education on nonpharmacological pain relief methods, particularly on methods that have been shown to be effective in prior research but that were less often used by nurses in this study: massage, thermal regulation, imagery, and positive reinforcement.
