Background Critical patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) suffer from pain, especially mechanical ventilation. From 35% to 55% of nurses have reported underestimating patient pain. A current practice study revealed that practical pain assessment during the procedure in mechanical ventilation patients was still below 40%. Poor pain treatment can lead to severe complications, including neurohumoral changes, neuronal remodeling, and prolonged psychological stress that can harm critical patients.
Methods: This study is a quantitative descriptive study with a sample number of 84 nurses who served in intensive rooms. The data was collected using the Acute Pain Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire (Current Practice Related to Pain Assessment and Pain Management in Older Adults).
Result: The results showed that most respondents carried out pain management in patients classified as quite optimal, as much as 51.2%.
Conclusions: Nurses need to continuously improve knowledge and competence through formal education and training to maintain the quality of pain management services, especially in critical care areas related to the implementation process in the implementation of pain management.
