| The pain of neonates is typically underreported and poorly documented. The scales for measuring pain have also not been widely applied in clinical settings. As a result,
neonates' pain has been inadequately treated and undermedicated. The evaluation and measurement of pain response are essential elements of effective pain management. Neonates are unable to verbally communicate or confirm their pain, making it challenging for healthcare professionals to assess their level of pain. This descriptive correlational research assessed the 40 NICU Nurses in terms of their knowledge and perception on neonatal pain management. The researchers utilized the non-probability purposive sampling design, and complete enumeration, as a means to obtain responses from each of the members of the population. An adopted standardized questionnaire employed with 4-point Likert scale was used to gauge the respondents' level of knowledge and perception on neonatal pain management in the NICU. The majority of the respondents were aged 31-35 years old, females, with 1-5 years of experience in NICU. The researchers conclude that NICU nurses have a positive perception on the concept of neonatal pain, pain assessment tools, and pain interventions in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The results of the study showed that there is no significant relationship between the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of age, sex, and years of experience in NICU and their knowledge and perception on the concept of neonatal pain, pain assessment tools, and pain interventions. |
