The research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of pain education program on nurses’knowledge and pain management in surgical critical patients based on learning theory by Bloom. The participants were 25 Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) nurses who had worked at Somdejprapinklao Hospital. Data were collected from June 2017 to July 2017. The instruments included a questionnaire of nurses’ knowledge about pain assessment and pain management in postoperative surgical critical patients. Nurses’ knowledge was measured before and after the educational program of pain assessment and management. Moreover, the observational checklist was used to evaluate nursing pain management in the medical records. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, as well as inferential statistics one-way repeated measure. The findings of the study showed that the 25 SICU nurses had significantly increased knowledge after attending an educational program. After 4 weeks of educational program, the nurses recorded level of pain, sedation score, pharmacology and non pharmacology used. In addition, the nurses used the appropriate instrument to evaluate level of pain. In conclusion, the educational program could be used to promote nurses’ knowledge of pain management to improve the quality of care in postoperative surgical critical patients.
