Dealing Children’s Pain, Interpretive Method, Nurses Practice
In Indonesia inquiry about pain management in children is limited and there have been no studies conducted in Indonesia about nurses’ practice regarding pain management in children using a qualitative study. Therefore this research provides new information which will be useful to Indonesian nursing practice. During my experience as a nurse, I observed that many nurses had very little to do with pediatric pain assessment. They rarely used assessment tools for measuring pain in pediatric patients. I have seen when nurses assessed pediatric patients in pain, they mainly considered children’s behavioral responses such as crying and facial expression. Moreover, I observed that many Indonesian nurses managed children’s pain with mainly pharmacological approaches and seldom used non-pharmacological methods.
