Abstract: | This study examined home care nurses' perceived barriers to pain management. Major barriers included lack of knowledge, inadequate pain assessment, and difficulty managing opioid-related side effects. Home care nurses with more knowledge about pain management had significantly lower scores on the Barriers Questionnaire. The study documented the need for continued pain management education for home care nurses. Practice implications are provided. |
