Are nurses utilizing the non-pharmacological pain management techniques in surgical wards?
The non-pharmacological pain management therapies have a valuable effect in managing moderate to mild pain intensity, especially if demonstrated in the pre-operative phase. The study aimed to explore the nurses' practice toward using non-pharmacological pain management techniques in surgical wa...
