The Effect of Training Given to Nurses Caring for Patients Receiving Palliative Care on Pain Management Self-Efficacy

The goal of this quasi-experimental research designed as a single-group pre-test post-test model is to evaluate the effect of an educational intervention aimed at improving the pain management self-efficacy of nurses providing care to palliative patients on their pain management self-efficacy. The main question it aims to answer is "Does pain management training given to nurses caring for palliative patients improve pain management self-efficacy?". The study sample consisted of nurses providing care to palliative patients. Participants will receive training on "Pain Management in Palliative Care Patients" prepared by the researchers. The training will be given online via Zoom by Nurse Beste Aykaç Özbir, one of the researchers.
