Abstract
Background: Postoperative pain is a common complication that can delay recovery and increase hospital stays and costs. Accurate pain assessments are essential for effective management.
Local problem: Compliance with evidence-based pain assessment protocols in the Anesthesia Intensive Care Unit (AICU) at a teaching hospital in Hefei, China, was suboptimal.
Methods: This evidence-based implementation project, conducted from December 2023 to August 2024, utilized the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Implementation Framework and Model of Evidence-Based Health Care. A baseline audit of 23 nurses and 50 patients was followed by a post-implementation audit. Data were analyzed using JBI's PACES software.
Interventions: Educational programs and stakeholder focus groups were introduced to enhance compliance with pain assessment protocols.
Results: Compliance with 3 audit criteria increased by 66% to 92% following the intervention.
Conclusions: The project successfully enhanced compliance with evidence-based pain assessment, improving postoperative pain management in the AICU.
