Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the impact on professionals and patients of developing and implementing an educational strategy for the recognition and management of pain. Methodology: Before and after study to evaluate the impact of designing and implementing an educational strategy in three neonatal units in Bogotá (Colombia). The change in the perceptions and skills of the professionals was evaluated through consecutive surveys and the change in the recording and management of pain by evaluating the information recorded in the medical records in both periods. Results: 70 health professionals were surveyed before and after the implementation of the strategy. A change was found in their skills regarding the use of pain scales (p = 0.03), the knowledge of non-pharmacological measures (p = 0.009), and the use of pharmacological measures (p = 0.009). Additionally, the medical records of 75 neonates were analyzed before and 75 after the implementation of the strategy, showing an increase in the use of scales to assess pain associated with diagnostic procedures (1.3% vs. 20%; p < 0.01), and therapeutic (0% vs. 56.7%; p < 0.01) and in the proportion of patients who received pharmacological management (17.3% vs. 53.7%; p < 0.01. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the implementation of an educational strategy improves the knowledge and skills of professionals, as well as the commitment to measures aimed at adequately diagnosing and treating pain in neonatal units.
