Abstract
Managing pain effectively is crucial for enhancing the quality of life for people with sickle cell disease. Nurses play a key role in pain management, as they are frequently the first line of care and have substantial engagement with patients during painful episodes. The study assessed the Nurses’ Attitudes and Perceptions Towards Pain Management in Sickle Cell Disease Patients at a Federal Medical Centre, Abeokuta. A descriptive approach was adopted for this study which employed a quantitative, cross-sectional research design and a total of 188 respondents participated. A self-structured questionnaire was used as the instrument for the study which the researcher’s supervisor validated. The data was collected and analyzed using statistical packages for social sciences (SPSS v23). Findings in this study show that 134 (71.3%) of the nurses have a positive attitude toward pain management in patients with sickle cell disease while 54 (28.7%) have negative attitude. Also, 175 (93.1%) of the Nurses have positive perception toward pain management in patients with sickle cell disease while 13 (6.9%) have negative perception respectively. The study concluded that majority 90(47.9%) of the professional nurses strongly agreed that inadequate pain management protocols is a barrier to effective pain relief and nearly 88(46.8%) of the clinical nurses strongly agreed that lack of support from hospital administration is a barrier to managing pain in sickle cell disease patients. There should be more awareness campaign on how nurses perceive and approach pain management of patients with sickle cell disease.
