Abstract

Objective: To investigate clinical interns' knowledge and attitude on pain management, influential factors and requirement.

Methods: A total of 212 clinical interns were investigated by the self-designed general condition questionnaire and the Chinese version of the knowledge and attitude survey regarding pain (KASRP).

Results: The correct answer rate for the knowledge and attitude questionnaire was (51.70±14.18)%. The education background, the condition of pain education in clinical practice and the use of pain assessment tools were the key factors that impact the scores of knowledge and attitude on pain management.

Conclusion: Clinical interns' perception on pain management is insufficient. It cannot meet the clinical actual needs.
