Pain is subjective and it can only be described by the individual experiencing it. It is the main reason
why people seek medical help. Nurses play a major role in the management of pain; hence they must be
highly knowledgeable to ensure their practices are of high quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate
the impact of Nurses’ Pain Educational Program (NPEP) on nurses’ knowledge of pain management.
The quantitative design was employed in the study; five lectures on the Nurses Pain Educational
Program (NPEP) were conducted for 500 nurses. All participants were given 15 items questionnaires in
a pre and post test design. The study location was the University College Hospital Ibadan and the
duration of the study was between March to December, 2015. The pre and post-test on nurses’
knowledge were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and the overall improvement in
knowledge and management of pain was analyzed using the student t-test. The participants were
divided into groups; each group was trained for two days in a week using the Nurses Pain Educational
Program Package (NPEP). Findings revealed an improvement in knowledge which was found to be
statistically significant (P < 0.000). This was evident by the results of the pre-test and post-test values;
pre-test mean score was 2.6 ± 0.05 while that of the post test score was 4.0 ± 0.04. This indicated that
knowledge was impacted. The Nurses Pain Educational Program had a positive effect on nurses'
knowledge of pain assessment and pain management.
